Move With Deb the Podcast

  Hello! I'm sharing some thoughts about not only my favorite concept but one that has been THE most powerful tools in the mindbody arsenal for healing. CURIOSITY!  It's not as sexy as a fancy treatment with a lot of sibyls, but it's effective!  And you can start today. No prescription needed.  Here's the links I mentioned in the podcast.  https://youtu.be/kSZKIupBUuc http...

This episode is a guided journey through processing an emotion. I recommend listening to it first before trying it, to acclimate your brain to the work that will be happening. While you are listening, pay attention to any judging or fear thoughts. Any thoughts that sound like, this won't work for me. I can't do this. I am bad at visualizing... and that's ok. There's no wrong way to do this. There'...

This episode is a bit of a journey through my experience of getting an email that triggered some strong emotions for me. One of the most powerful ways for me to learn is through Narrative. In episode 41, I speak about powerful ways we learn embodied concepts. Just as we can learn pain, fear and overwhelm. We can unlearn them. So my process of sharing my experience is to help you begin to explore t...

Dr. Howard Schubiner, author of Unlearn Your Pain (I said it wrong in the pod, oooops sorry!)  and leading mindbody physician dropped a nugget in my colleague's head which then got whispered into my ear and dropped into my auditory cortex to be processed..... I was like ooooooooh yes, FEAR is the main thing that we are helping with. Episode 43, I share with you some of my thoughts about that....

In this episode I share with you 10 steps that I use when I listen to other people's TMS/MindBody Healing Stories. It's so easy to get discouraged, frustrated or confused in this process. That's legit 100% normal and I want to encourage you to USE the insights from that experience to guide your progress. Please feel free to reach out to me via instagram @movewithdeb New website and consult schedul...

Episode 41, I discuss how I've integrated new mindbody experiences into my life at different times and what that Embodied AHA looks and feels like. I share a concept called Tacit Knowledge which is about how we can use something someone else has learned and apply that as a skill in our own life, which is very relevant for the mindbody process. https://commoncog.com/blog/tacit-knowledge-is-a-real-t...

Heya fam!  I did not mean to take a 3 week break.  But that's what happened.  So happy holidays! Here's a short review of my "I Notice" practice to get you to start thinking about the thoughts in your head and the sensations in your body in a new way.  New Year, new relationship to the stuff inside your mindbody. :)  Please feel free to reach out to me via instagram @movew...

Today I'm sharing with you some of my thoughts on central sensitization syndrome and the distinction between being sensitive and sensitized and the process of desensitization for pain and unpleasant sensations for healing. I discuss working with clients on misophonia and abdominal distress from eating dairy and the process of desensitizing their responses to stimuli.  Feel free to reach out t...

This week I share with you two experiences of mine around a stress response called a Dorsal Freeze. It's been my belief and experience that when we understand our nervous system and the relationship to our physiology, healing can occur. We have one mind, one body and one nervous system -- we are one being that moves through the world - assessing sensory experiences for our own survival. When we ta...

Episode 37 of Move With Deb, the Podcast is all about my inadvertent discovery of my own cognitive-somatic neuro-rewiring. Or as I sometimes lovingly think about it as training my dog of a mindbody. Or even simpler, I am untriggering myself.  Language can be so imprecise in these moments and can be our greatest ally and tool. I hope you enjoy this episode and try applying some of the skills i...

Ok y'all. I know you love to listen to me talk about my mindbody practice but like I could just be doing it and keeping it to myself. This podcast is for you to begin to make connections and learn to practice and apply these skills in your life.  So I created a short snack sized skills podcast version of the Somatic Smile activity for you to take with you and practice. I'm going to get into t...

Welcome to Episode 35. I wanted to continue the conversation I started last week about Fear language in Trauma healing. But also what if there is danger? What if the systems we need to engage in for our lives to be operating with ease are rife with racism, sexism, fat phobia, trans phobia and so on? How can we use these tools and other ones in a skillful way for our highest benefit? Please feel fr...

This episode has a funny blooper in it. Can you find it?  Besides that, I want you to know that I believe your pain is real. And just because we are discovering new ways to reprocess your pain, it doesn't mean it's your fault for having it in the first place.  Your body does what it does. Pain is a part of our protection system. I go through how the brain learns how to evaluate a sensory...

Hello to my lovely super somaticizers of stress.  I love you. I am you. So this episode I talk about my getting a rule out for throat cancer, because I've been dealing with this annoying, scary neck pain for over a year. It comes and goes. It's definitely linked to stress. And there was always a fear in the back of my mind that it was something more. Because I had gotten rid of all my other m...

Dr. Sarno taught that unprocessed emotions, particularly anger and rage were responsible for chronic pain, back pain. Now with Trauma informed care and Polyvagal Theory the conversation has shifted to safety and fear. Underlying it all is this concept of Emotional Awareness. And more important (in my opinion) creating safety with Emotional Experiencing.  There's research that shows, the more...

This podcast is very very late, because my perfectionist brain hijacked my body. The best news was although it was still happening, I knew WHAT was happening and so I had no feear. It was an invitation, as always, to feel.  I invite you to slow down. To start to make room for the subconscious thoughts running roughshod in your mindbody.  When we don't make space for feeling, we need the...

I'm back at the gym lifting weights and discussing how talking to our brains are like or unlike the Star Trek spaceship viewscreens. I discuss Frequency illusion, also known as the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon, which is a cognitive bias in which, after noticing something for the first time, there is a tendency to notice it more often, leading someone to believe that it has a high frequency (a form of...

This week's episode I explore the sensations in my body when I feel the perfectionist urge arise. I'm getting really good at decoding my body talk.  I used to think I needed to do everything perfectly. I was raised by a perfectionist, who not so fun for me really did excel at so many things. Me, much less so. But I absorbed so many of those messages. My all or nothing brain is slowly and deli...

I've been traveling and seeing some old friends and I've been having some very interesting somatic experiences being present in my body, leaning into connection and feeling the absence of an old friend, comparison. :) I chat about the role of feelings, self judgement and how emotional allowance and self friendship is the key to healing.  Please feel free to reach out to me via instagram @move...

My body is in a pain flair and wow is it not fun. But it sure is full of insights and learning. I am on the mend and excited to share my ongoing insights with you. The one thing I'm not, is afraid that that is a giant blessing.

This week I am chatting about a spin I lovingly pulled myself out of and how it relates my client's fear/anxiety brain this week. We chatted about the fact that some thoughts are like cartoon snowballs. You know that they're like one of those if it's leading you to completely ignore all the true facts  Please feel free to reach out to me via instagram @movewithdeb or book a curiosity call at...
