Dogma
Fear
Change
What do these three words have in common?
Last episode I talked about dogma and the wild. In this episode, I expand on that, talking about where dogma comes from (fear, especially fear of the unknown or fear of change) and how playing mad libs as a youth can be a metaphor for dogma, which can both explain the fear and free us from it. I also discuss the brain changes inherent to trauma and neurodivergence and how they can unintentionally lead us down rigid thinking paths and how we can embrace the flow of life and change to move forward in alignment with not just our own nervous systems but also the wild world as well.
Technical Note
I’m now embedding my podcast directly into this blog post rather than relying on an outside program. I’ll still use that program for subscribe links. It’s easier that way, but I hope this allows you to see a bit more directly about the podcast.

I’d love to hear from you. Reach out and contact me. Let me know how you fit in with my work and what you’d like to chat about. I’m happy to bring in new voices and perspectives, but just so you’re aware, I won’t promote anyone who is selling quick fixes, trying to exploit the communities I’m a part of, or who outright dismisses the work I’m doing. I’m a firm believer we have to stop putting silos around things and understand the glorious interplay between such things as our mental health, our well-being, living authentic and embodied, as well as some of the harms caused by a psychology practice that has for too long been centered in a cis, white, neurotypical, heterosexual frame.
