#21 – Elizabeth Ferreira – My Therapist’s A Witch – Therapy Is Magic – Find Your Own Medicine
Elizabeth Ferreira has the podcast “My Therapists a Witch” – because she is both a Witch and a Somatic Therapist. Join us as we speak about Witchcraft and rituals as a guide on the healing journey. We dive into themes such as:
- What is witchcraft in the context of therapy /guidance
- How magical space brings autonomy
- Is it metaphors or tangible forces in witchcraft?
- Manifestation through relaxing into transformation
- Feeling into something greater than yourself
- The Elizabeth speaks is a point in itself – a lot of pausing has been edited out, but you can feel the meditative speed by which she speaks
- Sacred experiences and we keep learning
- Strict Christian cult with leadership dictates and how Elizabeth got scared about going to sleep, because she saw spirits
- Sensitivities and how to accept and cope them
- A Shaman who saw a Medicine Woman in Elizabeth
- Spirits of the land
- How to integrate the magic experiences and perspective into everyday life, plus the sensitivity meaning the sensory potential overwhelm
- Elizabeth’s astrology! It ran really long, so I have made some executive cuts in it – it is still really long! Keywords: vacation, health-management, discernment and (witchy)skills to serve and heal the deepest areas of self
- Intergenerational trauma as it probably relates to past lives incarnating into same soul-family
- Learning from experiences rather than staying victim to them
- The naming of Elizabeth’s podcast!
- Fear around talking openly about being witch and in general speaking your truth and from your power
- Window of tolerance or presence as a place in our nervous system
- Being present to clients as a way of nervous system magic
- Is she a THERAPIST or a GUIDE?
- The experience of who you actually are – you are a divine being
- You will not be in the mud forever
- Fixing people – is so yesterday – Are you trying to avoid a feeling inside yourself (therapist)?
- Parallel process in therapy and the magic that happens when the therapist is doing their inner work
- Elizabeth Ferreira invites us for a little meditation! Enjoy !!
