Sitting in the Fires of Transformation and Relationship Anarchy with Rebecca Shepherd
In today’s episode, Alexandra speaks with her long-time best friend Rebecca, who is a psychotherapist, spiritual seeker, and mother.Rebecca’s psychotherapy practice centers around healing the wounds of unmet attachment needs, and she works with clients in-person in California and offers coaching virtually as well.In this episode, you’ll discover:How Alexandra and Rebecca initially were repelled from each other when they first met, and then over time realized that they had so much to teach each other, and how a 20-year spiritual friendship budded from that.Rebecca’s reflections and current experiences of sitting in the transformational fires around her marriage, sexuality, and newly opening up to a part of herself in this stage of her life as a wife and mother.Discussion around the exploration that is offered in relationship anarchy, and how what we view as relationship can be completely different than what we were shown growing up and in our society.Thoughts and ideas around abandonment wounds, how there is no “arrival” to healing our wounds, but rather a continual moving through and healing of our wounds in different stages, and the impermanence of life and relationships in our lives.Suggestions on how to help a friend or loved one who is suffering, in grief, or in the fires of transformation, and how to not skip over the current moment and experience.And much, much more.Join our Radical Awakenings virtual mentorship program here. We start gathering in February!Find out more about Rebecca's offerings and how she works with clients here.
