This is one of the most common concerns about doing deep healing work: once you start feeling, everything comes up. Your system says "oh good, you're ready" and brings more to the surface. In this conversation, my husband, Rabbi Yonasan Reiser, joins me as we explore what to do with all that activation.

This Episode Is For You If:
You're a deep feeler, deep thinker, or highly sensitive person who processes everything intensely
You've tried therapy or self-help approaches that felt like they weren't quite designed for your nature
You understand healing concepts intellectually but struggle to translate them into embodied experience
You're drawn to introspection but also crave being truly seen and received by another person
You sense there's wisdom in your body but don't know how to access it
