In this episode, we explore the living architecture of the psyche through the lens of the body. Using the iceberg analogy, Kara unpacks the layers of consciousness — from the logical, aware self at the surface, to the vast and mysterious terrain of the subconscious and unconscious below.
You'll learn how the nervous system mirrors the psyche, acting as the bridge between mind and matter. We'll break down the somatic nervous system (our conscious, voluntary control) and the autonomic nervous system (our subconscious intelligence that keeps us alive — the breath, heartbeat, hormones, and instinctive responses).
Together, we'll trace how emotional states, trauma, and ancestral patterns live within the body — and how every activation, shutdown, and surge of energy is the psyche in motion.
This conversation is an invitation to see your body as the most honest expression of your inner world — a map that reveals what your mind might not yet say aloud.
This episode covers:
The anatomy of the psyche: conscious, subconscious & unconscious explained
The iceberg analogy for understanding your mind
How the nervous system bridges psychology & embodiment
The roles of the somatic & autonomic systems
How regulation creates space for shadow work & soul integration
Your nervous system is not separate from your psyche — it is your psyche, expressed through sensation, rhythm, and breath. Healing the body is how we bring the unconscious into the light.
