Episode 6-- Layers of Self: Navigating the Evolving 'Who Am I' Question
In this riveting episode of the Big Calm Podcast, psychotherapist and Big Calm founder Tara Palmer walks listeners through the ever-evolving question that has perplexed humanity for ages: "Who am I?". Tara examines the interplay between the stages of human development and this existential question, highlighting how our quest for identity might resurface at various life junctures, from teenage angst to midlife transitions.
A significant emphasis is placed on the role of the nervous system. Tara underscores how external pressures, societal expectations, and life's survival requirements can put our nervous system in a state of distress, making it challenging to maintain an authentic connection with oneself. This tension can make it particularly difficult for individuals to find answers to deeper existential questions, especially if they are not in a physically safe or mentally peaceful context.
Tara paints a vivid picture of the human experience, emphasizing that while the quest for self-understanding is universal, our individual journeys are uniquely tailored by our circumstances, experiences, and the environments we navigate. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of themselves amidst the challenges and transitions of life.
