Episode 359 with Guy Ferdman
In this episode 359 of the Old Souls & Seekers podcast with Guy dive deep into the real meaning of healing—not as something to fix, but as a willingness to feel and experience more. He unravel the misconceptions around trauma, mastery, and spiritual growth while offering grounded, somatic insights that can shift your personal development journey forever.
In Today's Episode:
- Healing as Willingness, Not Fixing:
Guy explore how true healing begins with a shift in perception—away from trying to fix ourselves and towards being with what is. This episode unpacks the radical idea that growth is found in your capacity to stay present with your body. - Understanding Trauma Through the Nervous System:
Rather than viewing trauma as an event, Guy reframes it as a response—and shares how this shift changes everything about how we relate to our past. - Mastery as a Way of Being:
Drawing from over two decades of inner work and coaching, Guy describes how mastery isn’t about achievement, but presence. It’s the art of being in full relationship with your inner world. - The Illusion of Control vs. The Reality of Safety:
Guy explores the common confusion between feeling “in control” and actually feeling safe. Real transformation begins when you surrender control in favour of trust and connection. - The Power of Co-Regulation:
While healing begins within, Guy reminds us that we regulate in relationship. He unpacks how deep connection accelerates nervous system healing and emotional regulation.
Developmental work in healing is not about adding things to yourself. It’s not about layering more stuff on; it’s actually the act of subtraction.
