TMB83 - Dr. Mala - Somatic Truth: Ancient Practices for Modern Wounds
Wed Aug 13 2025
Dr. Mala
No one ever steps into the same river twice. Our lives change, but some moments ripple through us forever. In this deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Mala, we explore the many faces of trauma—childhood wounds, cultural silence, military service, intergenerational grief—and the surprising ways they can still serve us in the present.
From evolutionary psychology’s take on hypervigilance, to the spiritual and biological truths behind inherited pain, Dr. Mala shows how survival responses can be reframed into pathways for post-traumatic growth. We dive into her “Four A’s” method, the five common pathways of healing, and the embodied practices—like rehabilitative martial arts and henna art—that reconnect us to our own strength.
We talk about what it means to break cycles without rejecting our roots, how speaking truth aloud can literally change the body, and why rituals from drumming circles to mindful breath work still heal us in a high-tech world. And we go all the way to life’s edge—discussing how imagining your ideal death can help you live more fully now.
Whether you’ve carried your own storms or inherited the rains of your ancestors, this episode is an invitation to not just survive, but to recover into yourself.
