In this video, I share a powerful shift in how we understand chronic pain, stress-related illness, and long-term healing. For too long, we’ve viewed the body like a machine—but real healing goes deeper than fixing parts. I talk about why that old model breaks down, how trauma disconnects mind and body, and why true recovery is about restoring relationship—with ourselves, our past, and the present moment.
This isn’t just a new perspective—it’s a new path to freedom.

This video dives deep into attachment styles and how they shape our relationships and emotional patterns. I explore how insecure attachment often stems from childhood experiences where we had to suppress our authentic voice to survive. As adults, we may unconsciously adopt the role of our past neglectors, leading to self-sabotaging behaviors like avoidance, resentment, or emotional dependence. The key to breaking these patterns lies in self-awareness, nervous system regulation, and consistent daily practices like mindfulness, breathwork, and somatic exercises. By rewiring our automatic responses and gradually shifting towards secure attachment, we can create healthier relationships, deeper self-trust, and greater emotional resilience. If you’ve ever struggled with attachment issues, this video will help you understand your patterns and offer practical steps to transform them.

This video explores how writing exercises can help you discover your attachment style and understand its impact on your life. It begins by guiding you to reflect on your early caregiver relationships and how they shaped your attachment patterns—whether anxious, avoidant, or disorganized. The exercises help you identify how your attachment style influences your stress, emotional regulation, and relationship dynamics. By recognizing recurring patterns and triggers, you can start addressing the barriers that prevent deeper connections and personal growth.

Why Does Tapping Work? Is Tapping for Everyone? EFT | Student Question
In this video, I answer a question from one of our students from our Chronic Pain Course: Why does tapping work, and is it suitable for everyone?
With the student's consent, we're sharing this discussion to shed light on the mechanics of tapping (also known as EFT - Emotional Freedom Techniques) and why it may be effective for some but not for others.
I explain how tapping is a highly individual practice and why it's crucial to find a personal practice that resonates personally with you.
