The Dance to Oneness

EPISODE 61: WHY YOU KEEP GOING BACK TO HIM

Episode Description:

Why is it so hard to leave a relationship you know isn't right for you? In this episode, I explore the neurobiological and somatic reasons why women find themselves repeatedly drawn back to partners - even when their mind knows it's unhealthy.

We dive into how dopamine floods your system in early dating (shutting down critical thinking) and how oxytocin bonds you through touch and co-regulation.

For women with complex trauma and multiple losses, breaking these patterns is even harder. Through my own personal journey, I share how self-touch practices became the key to resourcing myself instead of outsourcing my regulation to another person.

What You'll Learn:

~Why your critical thinking goes offline in early dating
~The neurobiology of oxytocin bonding and why women experience withdrawal harder than men
~How complex trauma makes breaking attachment patterns exponentially harder
~Why somatic practices work when talk therapy doesn't
~The power of self-touch to stabilize your nervous system and create your own oxytocin
~How reparenting your younger self through body-based work breaks unhealthy cycles
~Why you can't receive from another what you first cannot give yourself

The Dance to Oneness Podcast presents Episode 59 “A Grief Observed: A Shaman Perspective’’.

Shamans believed grief left unhealed lead to depression, mental illness, addiction, violence & wars in communities.

We are not our grief.
Our grief is so deep because it’s been inherited generation after generation.
We must be the generation that breaks the curse.
That holds it, feels it, sees it, transforms & transmutes it.

In this episode, I highlight the key points about Grief from the book: The Smell of Rain on Dust by Martin Prechtel.
