It’s an absolute honour to bring you this episode of the Love, Sex + Magic Podcast with none other than Mastin Kipp. Mastin is one of the greatest thought leaders of our time, and this was recognised by his mention in Oprah’s SuperSoul100.
It’s no surprise then, that this episode is medicine for the soul. Mastin lets us in on his practical approach to healing our trauma, and how we can use it to elevate ourselves and those around us. We dig deep to define exactly what trauma looks like (spoiler: it doesn’t always come with a capital T!), and the ways in which it can show up for us in life. This includes attachment styles, addiction, psychological disorders, and even physical pain.
We riff on relationships to define the difference between a triggering dynamic and a healthy, healing space for mutual growth. We chat parenting styles and ancestral trauma, collective trauma with regards to Covid-19, as well as where trauma is stored in the physical body.
Mixing the spiritual with science to reshape and deshame limiting beliefs, we unpack how triggers are our body’s response to keeping us safe - meaning it’s actually working perfectly! AND Mastin reveals how working on trauma from a conscious place can actually take us ‘beyond spiritual growth’. It’s practical magic - you don’t want to miss this!
