Midwife for the Psyche with Maude Davis

ep. #11
My intro to this episode dives in a bit more than usual, into my thoughts on the work I am doing with this podcast and with my family, particularly regarding the learning process of how to practice anti-racism with every step I take. Here is the episode with Kaya Mindlin that I mention in the intro. Clarifying Non-attachment and Spiritual Bypass with Kaya Mindlin
This episode with Maude Davis (episode 11) doesn't directly bring in race, trauma and how therapy can support activism and anti-racism, it could be deeply effective and healing for that work. Much of what we talk about is the landscape of inner material that is longing to be healed. The grief and trauma we hold in our bodies is crying out to be felt and moved through.
I have personally found drama and expressive arts therapy to be the MOST impactful approach to healing life-long - no, generational patterns.

Maude Davis is working with therapy clients at the Living Arts Counseling Center in Oakland, Ca. She uses her training in Expressive Arts Therapy and Jungian Analysis as a "Therapy Director" in the workshops she does with Armond Volkis, called Autobiographical Therapeutic Performance. Maude has training and background in theater in New York City, where she worked for years as an actor, director and teacher. She is a PH.D candidate and has studied at the CG Jung Institute in Zurich.

Topics covered in this episode:

Theoretical background of Maude's work
Getting into the therapeutic work

The Myth of Perfectionism and Motherhood - SOLO EPISODE

ep. #13
Coming back from hiatus, I take this episode to dive into motherhood, a topic I have worked with for many years, as a therapist, a RIE-trained facilitator and as a mother! Like many moms, I struggled with the "myth of perfection", especially the first couple years of being a mother. I thought, "If I can be perfect, maybe my baby wont experience pain, disappointment, fear, etc"
Shifting to a more relational style of parenting, when I found RIE, helped me see that the most important goal of motherhood is raising people who are prepared to be in healthy relationships.
I share more about which metaphors and resources I look to now for a model on how to be in balance and in respectful relationship with all beings.
I also announce a giveaway, very special and dear to my heart. Please head over to my Instagram to enter the give away, which closes on Thursday at 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern
