what has helped me when I am suffering is to ask the question "who is feeling repelled?" "who is disliking this?" this always shocks me out of my aversion and creates a bigger space in which I meet and get to know the one who can't tolerate something
Absolutely OUTSTANDING moment in time ( and in my heart space) this has been. I thank the both of you for holding this space for us all, at this now. Here lately, I am following the breadcrumbs to my true nature, and this has been a biiiiiig bite! Thank you Tami Simon, and Thank you Matt Licata, PhD. Namaste and Blessed Be.
“Life will dissolve that fixity”
It’s through the cracks the light gets in.
Leonard Cohen said that in a poem.
Your work is so incredibly helpful, Matt. Feeling a deep sense of befriending/understanding, can really open one to an intensely patient path of self healing. Thank You!
19:52 Tami asks a fantastic, down to earth question here to get an example of Matt's face to face approach when dealing with a lay person and their need for healing.
So thankful I found you this morning!
Beautiful, thank you ❣🙏
I love your voice Tami, helps my nervous system!
Same I listen just for this
The term alchemy, brings me to ancient scripture of purification and going through fire and water, that seems to reinforce how necessary being fully in the state of experiencing our fears, sadness, grief to heal. For example: "Numbers 31:23 everything that can withstand the fire--must be put through the fire, and it will be clean. But it must still be purified with the water of purification. And everything that cannot withstand the fire must pass through the water.". You mention Buddhism in this interview, and I imagine similar scripture can be found in Confucius Analects too. Blessings and Peace, thank you for sharing.
I so much appreciate Matt Licata and his work. Thank you!
If you can't be your own best friend how can you expect others to give you the acceptance and answers and friendship and love. May sound like a cliche, I fight against myself still, running around like "chicken little", my sky instead of being wild and full of endless possibilities is being held up with both hands- falling on me - I can't communicate even through metaphor how I feel. What is comforting is that many people esp during covid have felt a disconnect from self, society and nature. We talk of globalization but where we need to start is the geography of "me", without being narcissistic- did I convey my isolation and my depression and connect at all-? Sounds True is a great channel, publishing house and of course, Lion's Roar magazine- Namaste
A worthy listen and in tune with the embodiment of life’s traumas. I bought the book.
WOW..!! Thank you Matt and Tammy for a very insightful conversation about how to connect with our deeper selves.. I honestly feel transformed and more important, inner love is opening up effortlessly too. NAMASTE..!!

Amazing interview (the title doesn't do it justice!)
Everything he is saying is completely applicable to the IFS model
¿Alguien sabe si existe algo de Matt Licata en español? Por favor.

Thank you for this. I'm thinking as listening the process almost feels comparable to allowing yourself to observe the objects in the river that impede the flow and that by lifting those out and de-objectifying seeing them as facets of self they soften and open transmute into beauty....
43:59 PHD inquire to what balance holds.

Cognitive scientists are coming up with the word transjective. In a relationship things are transjective not objective or subjective.
😊🙏♥️🌏🌻🌟
Did he say weenis?
The third thing he's talking about is "the logos".
