I generally like the content of this podcast and agree with most things the hosts say. Sometimes it feels like David doesn’t have a full understanding of the mental and physical impacts of complex PTSD. Changing the way you feel is not as simple as he makes it sound, if it were we’d all have healed ourselves long ago.
You have a great podcast! “My Parents don’t live me” episode helped me soo much in understanding why they are the way they are, I needed to hear all of that because I truly felt like it was always my fault and because of that I have pushed them away for years. I hope after listening to that episode things will get better. I took a lot of notes to help me. Thank You! Now off to listen to more episodes of your podcast🤍

I cannot believe how much this podcast resonated with me. I have a traumatic past and have read other things regarding the inner child but theses podcasts are so correct. David describes my situation , my troubles and struggles so accurately. I wish I had known about this approach earlier. Looking forward to working my way through the techniques and feel more hopeful than I have for years.

A calm, guidance-forward show that blends Taoist philosophy with modern emotional and spiritual health practices. Episodes commonly explore inner child work, reparenting, mindfulness, and Wu Wei—teaching listeners practical steps to respond with awareness, cultivate self-compassion, and live with less force and more flow. The hosts often combine personal experience as practitioners with accessible exercises, meditations, and frameworks (like the Shen test and Golden Thread) to help people heal emotional wounds, improve relationships, and leadership presence. Noteworthy is the consistent emphasis on inner resources, gentle discipline, and a practical pathway from self-understanding to everyday balance and wellbeing, making it appealing to li... more
