Episode 35: When the Dark Night Hits, and Why Talk Therapy Just Won't Cut It.

from Playing The Fool · host Jarna Saunders

For the last 10 days I just hadn’t felt like myself.I felt disconnected, judgmental, and honestly just… off. I could feel my ego getting louder, my heart getting quieter, and everything around me starting to trigger something that didn’t feel like me.And then I was faced with something from my past, something I said and did that completely broke me open.Because this time, it wasn’t something that happened to me.It was something that came from me.And it sent me into a dark night of the soul.In this episode, I share what that actually felt like losing connection to my heart, sitting in the shame, and being forced to face a version of myself I didn’t want to see. (Hello darkness and alcohol my old friend).I also talk about why I didn’t try to think my way through it, and how somatic work became the thing that helped me move the emotion that was stuck in my body and I share about why I believe in RomiRomi and other somatic therapies so frikin much.This is me showing up extremely raw and real and also proud. I don’t claim to be a perfect coach BUT I do know I am a very REAL and EMBODIED coach that puts my money where my mouth is.If this episode resonated with you and you’re wanting support to also be able to be with “ALL YOUR PARTS” you can work with me inside Tender or Relationship Coaching where we explore connection, communication, and emotional safety in a really supportive and honest space.Love Jarna x
