In this episode of Alignment First, I sit down with Miriam Uriarte, a certified trauma and resilience life coach, to explore the hidden impact of shadow work, nervous system regulation, and the path to true emotional freedom. We dive into the power of mirrors in relationships, why the body holds the score, and how episodic stress can compound into chronic dysregulation.
Key Takeaways
- Shadow work reveals hidden patterns that keep us stuck in cycles of self-sabotage.
- Transference versus “the mirror”: why we give people roles they can’t fulfill.
- The nervous system holds unresolved trauma far longer than we realize—up to 30 hours after a single event.
- Physical practices like stretching, breathing, and presence are essential for regulation.
- Fitness can be a gateway to healing, but only when approached with alignment.
