Episode 31
Join Michaela Carlin, The Psychedelic Mom, and guests Roger Ingraham and Antonia Talayeh in a conversation exploring the nuances of healing in relationship. Sharing their personal experiences with psychedelic medicines and trauma-informed healing, Roger and Antonia outline a seven-step process centered on recognizing how unconscious patterns developed in childhood are playing into the adult relationship dynamic.
The discussion further unfolds with Antonia and Roger explaining the role of safety and vulnerability in fostering deeper connection. They also shed light on how patterns manifest in the body and illustrate the intrinsic link between healing core patterns and resolving sexual ones. A significant part of their shared philosophy involves using explorative containers to bring unconscious patterns into consciousness and create space to acknowledge each other's experiences.
Antonia is an intuitive energy healer and guide. She walks through your worlds with you with exceptional safety and security throughout your paradigm shifts, holding you with love, compassion, grace and skill in becoming realized in your Divine expression, supporting you in living through your heart’s intuition, and guiding you towards embodying your innate essence.
Through our trauma-informed understanding that nonverbal expression reveals more than our verbal stories can ever tell about the core material that organizes our experiences, she works with the body as a direct route to the unconscious. Antonia has a profound adeptness and deftness in working with the body, self and soul on all levels, in the multidimensional field. Through this wisdom, we can invoke the psychedelic experience without the psychedelics.
Between co-regulation and self regulation, deep full body listening & awareness, Antonia supports people in their healing by evoking and midwifing her client's own natural, healing processes through re-consolidating formative experiences using the relational space and support from others, including comforting touch.
Through mindfulness, loving presence, curiosity, supporting resistance, non violence, organicity, & compassion, she creates the spaciousness to integrate fragments of the soul that impact your current reality to reclaim your wholeness creating new relationships with self & all. Antonia has been practicing, and facilitating deep meditation journeys for 22 years, using various modalities: www.illuminateyourtruth.com.
She leads a yearlong immersive training, www.TheRainbowBridges.com, to support therapists, healers, bodyworkers, leaders, change agents, guides, facilitators, and consciousness raising evolutionaries.
Antonia believes that a good therapeutic alliance depended largely on the personhood and state of mind of the guide. Her trainings use this method of mindfulness and body based therapy to cultivate those personhood qualities and skills that would help anyone to be a healing presence for another. Through the cohort and group work in The Rainbow Bridges training, participants experience a balance of theory, practice and application, and direct experience. The direct experience includes skill development in facilitation, tracking and contacting, and enactments to support collective witnessing collective intelligence healing, collaboration and connectivity.
She has traveled and worked internationally, working in apprenticeship with Mexican and American Shamans, Elders and teachers. Her practice embodies the integral evolutionary bridge of modern western depth psychology medicine with eastern alchemical integration methods of the ancients.
