Felt Sense, Forgotten Selves & The Gift of Pausing

After my conversation with Kat, I sat with some old self-portraits, some shadows, and a lot of felt sense. This solo reflection is me weaving together what came up — from Carl Jung to Judy Weiser, from the pandemic photo book Kat Mahale created to the practice of dropping into the body instead of spiraling in the mind.This one’s for anyone who forgets to pause, or who’s learning how to greet their reactions with kindness. We talk about resilience, shadow work, and the quiet wisdom of our bodies.Sometimes healing looks like a photo you’re finally ready to look at with love.Joey’s Social Links:https://linktr.ee/innerlensJoey’s Website:https://joeycollazo.com/Guest Submitted Artwork:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1vxFbXPdoNbwtkbUxnF_LI13rfAV6xgEd?usp=drive_linkJoey’s Fight, Flight, Freeze Self-Portrait Series:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NBsuWIJ83WWe6A1MbCoUPjVzgvCfxUba?usp=drive_linkFREE Mindful Mobile Photo Guide:https://innerlens.kit.com/starterTo purchase Kat’s book ‘What Now?https://www.feelmorecreative.org/whatnowKat’s website:https://www.feelmorecreative.org/Kat’s Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/feelmorecreativeNightbird’s ‘It’s Okay’ song:https://youtu.be/rq4RB6v51E4?si=5rZQ5wyaR9tNArqZShow Notes:00:00 – Reflections on Therapeutic Photography02:35 – Interpreting Self-Portraits and Personal Experiences05:15 – Navigating Relationships and Attachment Styles08:22 – The Impact of Life Coaching and Support Systems11:01 – Exploring Self-Acceptance Through Photography16.05 – Mindful Photography and Self-Inquiry19:47 – Insights from Kat’s Book and Pandemic Reflections21:50 – Reflections on the Pandemic and Personal Growth23:48 – The Power of Photography and Self-Expression26:01 – Mindfulness and Emotional Awareness28:44 – Exploring the Shadow Self and Healing
