Unbind It (Patricia’s Story)

Patricia Dalen, LMHC, CCEP, is a psychotherapist and Certified Core Energetics Practitioner who integrates relational psychotherapy with somatic and experiential approaches. Her work has a particular focus on chronic shame and the ways it can hide beneath anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, withdrawal, and the fear of being seen. Drawing on both clinical practice and her own lived exploration of shame, Patricia helps people understand the protective patterns held in mind and body and move toward greater connection, authenticity, self-expression, and vitality. In my words: Patricia is a bada$$. I met her two years ago in my training at the Institute of Core Energetics (https://www.coreenergetics.org) and was immediately drawn to her. Patricia not only exudes unconditional care but also a fun-loving spirit. Which is why it was such a delight to record this conversation with her, to get to know her better, and to hear the ways she unbinds shame. Beyond grateful that this episode, chock full of Patricia’s wisdom, experience and care, is the one to close out The Quiet Part Out Loud (https://hellarader.substack.com/t/the...) , my 4-part series on shame. Double, triple, quadruple grateful to count Patricia as a friend, and to be able to share her leadership with you…something y’all will hear for yourselves from the get go. So, I invite you to get comfortable, sit back, and listen in.
