What if the thing standing between us and collective healing is simply how much of our heart we're willing to let out?
In this conversation with Jeff Thompson, Psychodramatist, clinical director, and longtime friend, we wander into the field Rumi wrote about, the one that exists beyond right and wrong, and explore what becomes possible when we meet each other there. Jeff shares the essence of psychodrama, a modality that blends therapy and theatre to help people enact the experiences their bodies never got to have, and why Bessel Van der Kolk calls it his number one healing modality for trauma. We talk about inner healing intelligence, the unmet needs that drive so much of human suffering, and what it looks like when a group of people organically moves toward someone who is hurting.
Our conversation stretches further into the unknown, into psychedelic experience, past lives, the beginning of the universe, and the question of what might actually happen if enough of us stopped contracting in the face of fear and chose to expand instead. Jeff reflects on creativity beyond what has ever been imagined, not as an abstract idea but as a lived intention, and what it might mean for each of us to trust that our unique presence here sparks something the world has never seen before. We also pause long enough for a seven-year-old to offer a few words to the adult in the room.
Ask yourself the question.
How do I connect with the sacred?
Your answer is already there.
