Bringing the Body Back to the Whole Self with María-Victoria Albina

Have you ever felt like you betrayed yourself?

We live in a culture that teaches us to forsake our own wants in favor of serving others. We operate from a place of “I’m fine,” and get stuck in functional freeze, even when from the outside it appears we’re successful.

María-Victoria Albina joins Erica for a discussion about resentment and obligation, setting and holding standards, and tending to your nervous system as you pursue embodiment and change.

In this discussion:

Changing the narrative on obligationWhy setting standards and boundaries is a part of a self-reclamationHow our nervous systems get stuck in functional freezeWhy pushing too hard for ourselves to change can backfire
