The Wellness Industry Is Just Another Coping Mechanism with Sam Miller

from Dysfunctional

Most people think they’re broken. Most people think dysregulation is a problem. Most people think the answer is to regulate, reframe, or reset.But what if all of that is just another distraction?Another way to bypass what actually needs to be felt?This episode is a full-bodied dismantling of the healing and wellness world as we know it — with the brilliant Sam Miller, who teaches Mind-Body Recovery through a trauma-informed, Jungian, and deeply embodied lens.We talk about:Why your symptoms might actually be your body healingHow emotional repression creates chaos in the systemWhy "cognitive reframing" is like shouting to the basement from the atticThe cult of regulation and fake safety in the healing spacePerformative masculinity, football fights, and the grief men won't feelAnd how real emotional healing often looks more like screaming, shaking, and collapsing into a ball in a sauna than it does cold plunges or coaching frameworksWe also dig into the absolute state of the wellness industry — the bypassing, the ego-led facilitators, and why a lot of what’s branded as “healing” is just a new costume for the same old disconnection.This one goes deep. It’s raw. It’s real.It’s Dysfunctional.Best place to find Sam is here - https://youtube.com/@the_mindful_gardener?si=WasM11Ci0DIGsXCg Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
