  • Creativity for Healing Through Art Imagination and Courage with Sher Nyquist

    Creativity for Healing Through Art Imagination and Courage with Sher Nyquist
    Mar 19 2026
    What if healing didn’t have to be forced… or figured out… or even put into words?

    In this episode of Echoes and Edges, Patria sits down with trauma-informed coach and Processing Trauma Out Loud host, Sher Nyquist, to explore how creativity—yes, even the simplest forms—can gently unlock healing. This conversation reframes art, imagination, and play as powerful tools for processing trauma, regulating the nervous system, and reconnecting with parts of ourselves that may have been silenced by shame, judgment, or survival. No artistic skill required—just curiosity.

    What You’ll Hear in This Episode
    • Why healing isn’t something you “fix”—it’s something you approach slowly
    • How creativity helps access what words can’t reach
    • The surprising link between trauma responses and creativity
    • Why you don’t have to be “an artist” to benefit from creative expression
    • How simple practices (like stick figures or color swirling) can unlock deeper memory and emotion
    • The role of the nervous system—and how art can help regulate it
    • How shame shuts down creativity (and how to gently move toward it instead)
    • Why imagination is one of the most accessible and powerful healing tools we have
    • The concept of “lavish tenderness” and why simplicity matters in healing
    Key Takeaways
    • Creativity is not about performance—it’s about expression
    • Trauma often compresses our sense of self; creativity helps expand it
    • Healing happens in slowness, safety, and small, consistent moments
    • Imagination is free, always available, and neurologically impactful
    • You can “turn toward” difficult emotions instead of pushing them away
    • Play, wonder, and curiosity are not extras—they are essential to healing
    A Gentle Practice

    Take a moment and notice:
    • What stayed with you from this conversation?
    • If that feeling had a color, what would it be?
    • Where do you sense it in your body?
    No need to analyze. No need to fix.

    Just notice.

  • When Dysregulation Shapes the Way We Love with Laurie Proctor

    When Dysregulation Shapes the Way We Love with Laurie Proctor
    Mar 12 2026
    In this episode, host Patria Rector continues the conversation with coach, Internal Family Systems practitioner, and Enneagram instructor Laurie Proctor about the powerful role our nervous systems and internal parts play in shaping relationships. When we become dysregulated, connection often gives way to survival. Fight, flight, freeze, and collapse are responses that helped us endure difficult moments in our stories—but they were never designed to sustain healthy relationships.

    Patria and Laurie explore how unintegrated parts within us can create rupture in our relationships and how learning to regulate before responding allows love, empathy, and curiosity to lead instead of fear. Through personal stories, Enneagram insights, and reflections from Internal Family Systems work, they discuss how different people experience dysregulation in different ways—from outward reactivity to internal collapse—and how awareness can open the door to greater compassion for ourselves and others.

    The episode also widens the lens beyond individual relationships, exploring how the same patterns of survival and dysregulation can shape communities and even the cultural moment we find ourselves living in.

    In this episode, we explore:
    • How dysregulation leads to rupture in relationships
    • The difference between survival responses and relational connection
    • Why regulation matters before responding in moments of conflict
    • How Enneagram patterns influence our stress responses
    • Internal Family Systems and responding from “Self” rather than reactive parts
    • The role of empathy in restoring connection
    • How personal dysregulation can mirror collective tension in the world around us
    Reflection:
    What happens in your body when you feel threatened, misunderstood, or angry? Do you move toward conflict, withdraw from it, or collapse inward? Learning to notice these responses is often the first step toward responding from a more grounded and compassionate place.

  • How Inner Work Changes the Way We Love with Laurie Proctor

    How Inner Work Changes the Way We Love with Laurie Proctor
    Mar 5 2026
    In this episode, host Patria Rector sits down with coach, IFS practitioner, and Enneagram instructor Laurie Proctor for a thoughtful conversation about how inner work reshapes the way we experience love.

    Love is often talked about as a feeling, a virtue, or an ideal. But in real life, love is shaped by the stories we carry, the wounds we’ve endured, and the nervous systems we inhabit. When those stories remain unexamined, love often operates through survival patterns—control, withdrawal, reactivity, or collapse. Together, Patria and Laurie explore a different possibility: love that grows from integration.

    Drawing from Internal Family Systems, the Enneagram, and decades of personal and professional experience, they discuss how healing our inner world changes the way we show up in relationships. Instead of trying to perfect ourselves, the invitation is to become more aware, more compassionate toward our own parts, and more grounded in what IFS calls self-energy—the calm, curious, compassionate center within us. This conversation opens a space for listeners to consider how their own history, patterns, and nervous system responses influence the way they give and receive love.

    In this episode, we explore
    • Why love often becomes distorted by survival patterns
    • How trauma and nervous system responses shape relationships
    • The role of Internal Family Systems and “parts” language
    • What self-energy looks like in everyday life
    • Why integration—not perfection—leads to healthier connection
    • How untended pain eventually seeks expression
    A question to reflect on
    When relationships feel tense or unsafe, what response tends to take the lead for you—control, withdrawal, reactivity, or collapse? Sometimes the first step toward healing is simply noticing.
