Bipolar Awakenings | Sean Blackwell

In this episode, I sit down with Sean Blackwell, author of Bipolar Awakenings: The Quest to Heal Bipolar Disorder, to explore a controversial and fascinating perspective: what if some experiences labeled “bipolar” are also a trauma-driven spiritual emergence—not just a lifelong condition to manage?We dig into Sean’s framework connecting extreme psychological states to the kundalini/chakra model, how trauma can show up in the body, and why he believes breathwork and somatic healing can help people move toward stability and integration. We also talk about safety, discernment, and how to navigate this topic without throwing science—or common sense—out the window.Learn more + book a free 20-minute consultation with Sean: https://www.bipolarawakenings.comThis episode is for education and discussion only and is not medical advice.
