Here’s a very fitting quote: “a healer does not heal you. A healer is someone who holds space for you while you awaken your inner healer so that you may heal yourself.” I’m a therapist, yes I help people but I don’t claim to be the end all be all. I don’t claim to heal people or know it all. I’m here to support people and guide them to get in tune with what is best for THEM. Not what I think is best. When people feel in tune with themselves they feel empowered and content, which is so crucial in healing. Ugh I just want to scream hearing about how much she is taking advantage of people and further perpetuating trauma on people.
Well said 🙌🏻 Patient’s must be willing to make the necessary behavioural and lifestyle changes that are required for the majority of medical interventions to truly be effective
I found her videos years ago and when I was in a deep depression. At that time she helped me so much. I got better and stopped watching and lately I have been seeing so much controversy around her and her teachings! So crazy to see this unfold and feel glad that I was able to take what was useful for me and move on without getting sucked into anything more sinister.
My grandma had cancer. She was willing to try anything she could to get rid of it. A “healer” I can’t remember what she called herself. Took advantage of her being valuable and desperate to live. She paid this lady thousands of dollars to heal her. My grandma was so beyond devastated and died 8mons later. Teal is definitely taking advantage of valuable and desperate people.
same thing happened to my mother. Because of the ''healer'' she chose to rely on, she died because she did not get early intervention treatment. I was told by her specialist post mortem, that early treatment would have made a much better outcome and she would be alive today. It made me a little mad to find that out. 😢
@homemadecookie7392 Ass ahoy, matey! Chill, she's just sharing her experience, and she's allowed to comment that here if she wants. Besides, you don't know if they already went to the police.
Narcissist’s will exploit spirituality to cohesively control people into doing what they want and putting them on a pedestal. They try to make you believe everything you know is wrong and only they can show you the right path. It happens so slowly too, you don’t even know it’s happening until you’re suddenly in the deep end. This happened to me in a relationship and it’s so scary because you always always think it could never happen to you. The person I was and even the things I believed where so far from the person who I am and it’s taken me YEARS to get back to me. So important to spread awareness on this topic ❤️
Absolutely. There was a case in uk where a therapist used to brainwash and convince that all her clients had sexual abuse hx leading to them disowning their family members
Kendall, just wanted to say you’re glowing and look incredibly healthy. Very noticeable this episode, I hope you’re feeling as well as you look! Love to see you and Josh thriving!
As a licensed therapist, I actually agree with @1:58:25 -- our field has detrimentally catered to the "trigger warning" era, which stunts emotional processing. While it appears to be different, it's actually very similar to the "insensitive" Boomer generation approach (i.e. prevent uncomfortable emotions/experiences through avoidance, denial, delusion, or distraction)--the trigger warning approach is the same, just with a different outfit on. Essentially, it takes away a person's opportunity for potentially beneficial/incremental re-processing. The reality is: yes, it will hurt, yes there will be tears, yes it will be uncomfortable, yes it will take time...AND that's the necessary process of healing. Teal is obviously problematic for many reasons, but she actually nailed it here.
You're right here, I am in a similar position and there are definitely some things she is on point with. Its just the troublesome content that would prevent me ever recommending her content to vulnerable people.
She is on point with a lot of things. Grown adults should be able to take what’s good for them and leave what’s not. Labeling someone “problematic” just casts them out and so many non thinker types will brush them off and never listen to something that could’ve potentially helped them. Sad so many in this world are throwing critical thinking out the window and joining the mob.
autoimmune disease CAN be caused by trauma this has been studied by actual psychologists and is more prevalent in women btw so even tho i don’t agree with her i will say that this part wasn’t entirely false
I agree and so does my Rheumatologist. He believes and practices with more natural healing remedies rather than pharmaceutical medicine. I have many more good days then bad as far as pain and inflammation. I myself notice that when I’m under a lot of stress and/or I’m run down from depression and anxiety, that’s when I have bad days filled with horrible joint pain and sometimes even bedridden
@@kristinhunt4211 it's true that it can have an impact, but saying it always does is bullshit. As was the case in the documentary. Science rarely deals in absolutes. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis as a toddler, long before any trauma. Just bad luck. I wouldn't trust any practitioner who purports to be the only one to know things in absolutes, especially with the human body, too many variables at play.
I've seen this woman on RU-vid and honestly, it only took couple shorts to realize she was full of it. Then again, I'm not a seeker. She's not confirming my world view. I'm not her target audience. But if you are looking for spiritual fullfillment, there will always be people out there who will try to prey on you. Have to be extremely carefull and consider, if you want to even follow anyone
@@stacigarcia7570Neither is your opinion on her opinion. 🤣🤣 I love when people are hypocritical as bold as day on social media with literally no in sight into their behavior. Utterly hilarious
I would bet that plenty of these people don't have that kind of money. They are likely so desperate they take out loans, open credit cards, or sell belongings to make the payment because they're in way too deep. I could be wrong, but I've known people who will give every penny to an organization if they think it will help them.
Probably on paper, not many. But people who are feeling lost and empty and desparately looking for answers, will find all kinds of ways to come up with that money. Look at Scientology. People end up giving every cent they have.
They enjoy it, most of her content is free and her seminars that she does in person are affordable. Retreats always cost alot, it's a personal choice to see if it's worth it or not.
Also, about repressed memories, it’s a real thing. Specifically in childhood trauma. I myself experienced it and was recently diagnosed with CPTSD. After my repressed memories surfaced, I turned to alcohol and risky behavior to cope from college through most of my twenties (almost 10 years). I recommend the book “The Body Keeps the Score” to get a better understanding of how trauma remains in the nervous system of a person.
@@crystalsmith9038 specific therapy for complex trauma, which is different than therapy for the types of trauma which are not repeated constantly or piles with many incidents over time, which is what make it "complex", its not one specific traumatic incident , but many of them or a few that have happening on a span of many years, especially if its since childhood. Cbt and dbt can help alot. Also, its legal and very helpful to use hypnosis in therapy in such cases...but BY A PROFESSIONAL who has studied psychology AND psychiatry. Its a long process to heal cptsd and usually its misdiagnosed...as borderline personality disorder which what teal said she had...
I think one of the differences to be aware of with regard to repressed memory is that there’s a difference between doing therapy with the sole intention of uncovering memories vs. doing legit therapy to heal, and in doing so, feeling more safe and able to safely recall more details about a traumatic event
My intuition tells me that most of the world isn't up to her level of abilities, so of course everyone thinks she's crazy and she seems narcissistic because she has to deal with that
@@annikajohansson9171 while I agree with not all gurus have the same abilities, Teal isn't one who has them. At least not the ones that actually help people. She's out to help herself to the bank.
I consumned a lot of teals content just after i escaped my narc abuser. After a few years of healing i came to realise i had swapped one narc for another. I believed in teal so deeply because my mind was completely warped, i still agree with some of her points but i think for myself now
I’ve seen a bunch of her videos. There’s something definitely off about her. I can’t quite put my finger on it. For one thing she has a habit of snickering at seemingly inappropriate times and it gives me the creeps. Her approach is weird too. She’s not coming from a place of teaching or coaching but more like what she’s saying is superior. She gives the ick.
I do think there’s a total difference between using spirituality to make a career in an accessible way, and being a complete grifter and scammer at these absurd price points.
Absolutely - and mixing this lady in with those doing it in a legit ethical way is doing a disservice to those because there are a lot of people who can benefit from this
* Her ex husband is Sarbdeep Swan. I messaged him over fb why he left and to my suprise, he repsonded saying he is tired of the circus/attention she brings Oh my god. I have not watched yet, i have it on pause. Honestly, Teals earlier teachings (2011-2016ish) has completely changed my life. Im 32 years old. Over the years I have slowly stopped watching her as i havent felt the need to, but I would not have the mindset I do today if it was not for her. Aloottt of her fans idolize her. They put her on a pedastal and i thoroughly believe Teal enjoys that attention. Shes gained a ton of controversy and I cant believe Mile Higher has looked into this... okay im going to watch this video now 👀
Yep,its the same for me. Watched alot of early Teal beginning days. I think every everyone has something to share whether its positive or negatives its how what we do with the information given. Learning plenty about what we need or dont need. Learning not to judge with a diserning heart is comforting for me❤👍💐
Mental health worker here - I’ve seen a lot of trauma in my work - it’s a passion of mine! Trauma can indeed change the wiring of the brain, which can be made worse by repeated traumas. That leads to complex trauma. Trauma responses can vary from person to person. The brain senses that we are in danger when we experience trauma and parts of the brain can shut down as the event is happening to protect you, as was said. Parts of the brain that hold memories can be affected during the shutdown, leading to memory loss because it cannot be retained. This can impact emotional functioning as well. The brain itself in terms of wiring can also change depending on how the trauma sits in the body. To everyone who may have suffered a trauma - you are nothing other than human if you can’t remember. And, healing is possible - I promise ❤
Thank you for this! I’ve lost almost all of my memories before I was 19 due to a traumatic childhood. In the past year or so I’ve reconnected with some school friends and they have helped fill in some blanks for me. Thankfully they only knew the good stuff to remind me of, but since some of them knew me from 4-5 years old through 18 or so, they had a lot of stories to tell me with pictures that helped me as well. I also had the chance to walk through my old high school before the demolished it, so I got a few memories back just walking through. Even now, I don’t retain memories well. I know if I want to remember something, I have to journal and take pictures bc in a few months I will have completely forgotten or mixed it up. It’s frustrating, but I can help what happened to me, I just have to deal with the fall out and adjust.
Also what the hell, they're liking every comment that goes against her, they're clearly against her without knowing her, I just see them as weak nowadays because of all the drama pointless content. No really authentic content with any of them anymore it's wild
I myself tried to watch some of her videos as she was recommended by a RU-vidr back in the days I used to love (around 2012-2014 I believe) I was a teenager, feeling lost at the time but Teal gave me very chilling vibes & nothing she said came as genuine to me. So happy my gut feeling didn’t fail me and I unsubscribed shortly after.
Scared to watch this, Teal changed my life. I haven't watched her in a while lol but she was truly was so helpful. Im definitely open to hearing this side though!
I found her to be incredibly helpful also. So much amazing content for free. She doesn't profess to be perfect and she isn't however that doesn't change the fact that I am incredibly grateful for her work.
In the late 80s-early 90s I was coerced by a therapist into thinking that I was sexually abused by a family member and was diagnosed with multiple personality disorder. I was not abused. I do not have MPD. The therapist lost his license eventually. It wrecked my family relationships. One thing people don’t talk about is that the implanted memories are traumatic. It’s as though you went through things although you haven’t. I also doubted my judgment and reality for years.
This woman is highly manipulative as well, as an autistic woman I rarely see that in people. I'm extremely skeptical of anyone who thinks all suffering can be avoided with her knowledge while simultaneously saying they have known/experienced the worst of human suffering. Pick one. And to be adamant no one else can have answers and you're the highest, all-knowing? Then explain five ex-husbands? Explain not knowing how to help others? Explain how your followers must live to facilitate your dream, to the detriment of themselves. She's a charlatan. I'm so glad her best friend escaped, he enabled her far too long. I am scared for her son though, poor child will never stand a chance with a mother who thinks they're incapable of making errors.
@@Younggmetro 😂😂😂 yes I have, I wouldn't be able to make pointed arguments against her bs without viewing it. Seriously, that's really basic. But given that you're defending this grifter, you're probably not very bright anyway.
I’ve always sensed a really dark and weird energy from the few videos I’ve seen of her on tik tok. I think it’s great you guys are bringing awareness to this!
I’ve had my own challenges with therapists. One attempted to manipulate my perceptions of my father, who had bipolar disorder and struggled with alcoholism before passing away when I was just 10. While I remembered him fondly, she tried to reframe my memories as frightening, which only increased my distress. Additionally, she criticized my sleep habits, claiming I was not helping myself by sleeping excessively. However, I later discovered that I have narcolepsy with cataplexy, and my sleep patterns were more related to that condition rather than poor self-care. Unfortunately, this was not the only negative experience I've had with therapists.
I love that you lead the video validating how she DOES have some really good points that resonate with people, even though she is a very clearly shady person. I said this same exact thing when I brought her up to my therapist, I forget why I even brought her up, I think we were talking about trust and how confusing the spiritual world is. I had asked if she had ever heard of Teal Swan (she had) and I said it's crazy because she has some extremely valid points, she says things that really resonate with me, I really enjoyed her videos before I watched the Hulu documentary. But then it's clear she's more power hungry than anything and how clear it is that she specifically surrounds herself with vulnerable people. Her right arm guy, you could just tell he was a very vulnerable person and she was very clearly taking advantage of him, as she was with most people who were "devout" to her. Love that you covered this story.
This doesn’t get brought up enough. Teal Swan has used her physical appearance to influence and even seduce people her entire life. Without this aspect of herself, she wouldn’t have been as successful as she is now.
I don’t know if this is still online (just at the 3:39 marker in the video where they identify how a lot of material of hers had been wiped), but I remember in an interview she actually spoke about this. She said she was an Arcturian starseed that came to earth to work as a light worker, and one of the reasons that she was born into her family’s genetic pool, was so that she may be gifted the physical traits that she has. As more people are receptive from women who are widely considered to be beautiful. Shew. Wild.
anyone worth their salt in spirituality, will tell you that you can learn and listen all you want but have your OWN views. Not follow me. What rings true for YOU!
I started listening to Teal Swan in 2015/16. She had some good points but I couldn’t get past the feeling that she was lying about her past. So I stopped.
I'm the son of a pastor of a church in DC for over 35 years... He also pastored churches before that. We all know that God can do all things.. that's why God created Therapists!!! professionals.... it's so ill advised to totally rely on a spiritual adviser to heal you from things that need medication.
I've always thought she's intelligent and watched some of her free videos, but I'd never pay her anything. There was always something suspish about her. Arrogance. And the way she laughs makes me uncomfortable 😵💫
I have had dogs and/or cats my whole life, and since I’ve gotten older(I’m turning 43 years old on September 30th) I’ve always said my husband and our kids have pets and I just help them take care of them, but EVERY TIME I’m upset or had a life changing experience, the FIRST thing I did was tell their pets😂😂. Now, I’ve just accepted the fact that no matter who chooses the pet in their home, they are everyone’s best friend and therapist.🤷♀️😂💙♥️ we have 3 kids, there is a HUGE age difference. I was 20 years old when we had our first child(daughter, now 22 years old, married with 1.5 kids), I was 24 years old when we had our second and “final” child(son, now 18 years old, engaged and getting his CDL) and I was almost 38 years old when I found out I was 7.5 months pregnant AGAIN!😮😂(son, now 6 years old just started kindergarten) the first thing I did was cry, hug and cuddle with our Pitbull(Rex) he literally just licked my face and layed in my lap. I couldn’t help but laugh and it made me feel 10X better!!❤💙🩵
Thanx for sharing! 🫶 Wishing you a very happy birthday 🎂 coming up…hoping you all celebrate 🎊 big time! 🥳🎉💃🏻 Doctors told me and hubby we couldn’t have kids…I was barren!! However at 35 after moving from the city (rat race) we fell preggers and then again the next year! Boy we are still SURPRISED!! They’re great kids a pigeon pair and fine young adults were so proud of! 💗
She's rebranded since the (Hulu?, Netflix?) documentary. Her message is a lot more balanced. She still is who she is and her mask slips a little from time to time. Its clear she either studied the concept of, or actually practices DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). She seems to have studied (as a layperson) personality disorders as well because on one of her more recent interviews she mentioned that personality disorders aren't mental illness, they're a trauma response. She's not entirely wrong, but 99.9% of the people who suffer from those need legit, intensive therapy. Specific modalities, including DBT for the cluster B personality disorders. You're not going to "enlighten" your way out of something so deep seated, so pathological, by watching RU-vid videos of someone who likely has a bunch of unresolved trauma. And that's if you believe her version of her history. There's a really good interview of her childhood friend and neighbor on the Mormon Stories podcast. They're on RU-vid too. If you believe her friend, Teal is probably a dark triad or dark tetrad. Cluster B. She's certainly captivating.
I find it interesting that so many people consider her captivating, I used to watch other channels in the same sphere (spiritual type self improvement) and was often recommended her channel but could never get into it.
I was an online member of what I believe to be Teal’s CULT for 6 years. Now being out for the past 4 years I am better than ever, particularly since being saved by Jesus. Thank you so much for making this episode! I can’t wait to watch it!
34:55 thank you so much for bringing this up! I was a little concerned because I hear how people have vivid memories from 3-4yrs old (not trauma related) and I was worried why I had so much blockage. I’m glad to know it’s normal just to have fragments! I appreciate this comfort!!
The majority of people don’t truly have memories before 4 or 5. Even after that, a lot of youthful “memories” are things you recall because families members told you what happened or you saw photos. In my mind I can say “oh I remember being with my grandma” but she passed away when I was 2 or 3 and the only reason I most likely remember her is because I’ve seen photos of myself sitting on her lap. But do I actually “remember” her, no.
My mom was surprised when I told her a memory I had from when I was 4 she told me I couldn’t possibly remember because I was only 4 years old I’m 23 and lots of my memories start at age 4-5 We don’t have pictures of this day and nobody ever told me the story I literally remember more than half of the day and even the shirt I was wearing
My brain has this thing I have super good memory due to trauma it makes it hard to forget anything So since that day was such a good happy day for me as a kid I remember every single moment of it Because my trauma is also so burned into my brain it’s a curse in some ways 😂
I’m a very woo woo person. Very witchy, very into spiritual stuff, believe a lot of things people scoff at. Love to talk aliens and all the rest of it. I almost ended up in a cult once too. Even I think Teal is extremely dangerous. I watched some of her videos years ago, followed her for a very short period and when I gotto learn her views about death and suicide I immediately noped out.
It's coercive control. To dictate yourself as the authority of what someone else can think, feel and do otherwise they are wrong, evil, mentally ill ,"distortion", etc. It's always the same pattern with the same intention I agree with Janelle. Healing is about restoring a person's agency not to make them into what someone else's dictates to be right I think people who are actual healers work on helping you recover that agency by confronting the messages you have been given that have been depriving you from it and your connection with yourself. It's not their job to give you answers but to support you in finding those answers for yourself
Well as someone who followed teal in my early years, id just wanna say definitely take what she says with a grain of salt. Teal really helped me through dark times in my life but when she started doing these retreats and stuff you could tell even the way she made videos was changing.
The claim about trauma "turning women into men" is a tough one to grapple with, and I've grappled with it personally. On the one hand our society absolutely demonizes (maybe too harsh of a word, but puts down feminine characteristics) femininity in order to uphold the patriarchy, and many women do resort to a more masculine way of living and/or being to cope with that. On the other hand though, the transphobic applications of that idea are just SO obvious that I can't really trust that someone wouldn't use this as a justification for transphobic actions or ideas.
I dont think it has anything to do with transphobia. Andrew tate has a very small minded thinking i doubt he would even say the word transgender, he completely believes women should only be in the kitchen making sandwiches or pleasuring their man, and the man should be an alpha male. She was agreeing with him after he said trauma turns a women into a man because they both think that a women learning to be independent from a man makes her masculine and therefore less of a women🤷🏼♀️ just my thoughts
Trans (and ALL lgbt identities) are trauma responses caused by unhealed and unprocessed gender trauma, gender trauma that typically happens between ages of 0-3 years old which is why LGBT people think they are born that way, because the trauma was there during the earliest memories. I’m a mental health professional btw, and 100% of lgbt people I’ve worked with are lgbt as a direct result of childhood gender trauma. Basically, you can’t identify as lgbt without trauma to the psyche. There’s nothing “transphobic” or “homophobic” about the facts. I have great compassion for the LGBT community which is why I will continue to tell the truth about why they are the way they are (TRAUMA). And patriarchy causes a lot of that trauma especially for lesbians, male homosexuals and FTM trans. This is why LGBT identities are highest in patriarchal countries. For example, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan are the worlds most oppressive patriarchies and they ALSO have the highest rates of homosexuality (well over 50% of the male population are practicing homosexuals). This again proves LGBT is an adaption and a response to trauma. The less patriarchal a culture is the less LGBT. The more patriarchal a society is the more LGBT people it creates.
As an energy healer & psychic myself, I follow something that another healer once told me: “I can lead you to the healing, but I’m not here to heal you.” It is a 2 way street - a healer is only as good as the client’s willingness to accept the healing and move forward on the path we’ve set them on. If you aren’t empowering your clients to be able to work on themselves & heal themselves (with your help) then you’re creating the power dynamic you’ve described. Always remind people of their inner power…that’s where the real magic is. 🙏🏼
I’m so glad you did this one! I first learned about her on SPUN podcast and now whenever I see her quoted or promoted on spiritual pages, I make sure to be that annoying person in the comments telling them not to support her work. 😅
Make sure you keep mentioning the documentary. If for no other reason than curiosity some will go to watch it, hopefully before they are pulled in too far. Thankyou for trying 💜
If the price of the help offered is thousands of dollars, then it is obvious that the helper is not genuine. I am not saying that everyone should provide free help, but I am sure that the costs could be much lower.
Definitely agree and price range can help you determine who to steer clear from. There's a distinct difference between spiritual practitioners who offer their services at affordable prices, because they genuinely believe that helping people shouldn't make the person go in debt, versus the spiritual "advisors" and "gurus" who market their services at astronomically high prices.
As far as repressing memories go, I know for sure people can repress large chunks of their memories due to trauma. My husbands dad died when he was 11, and he remembers a few things about his dad when he was young, but he remembers absolutely nothing from his dads death and almost nothing from that entire year. He was very close to his dad but remembers very little about him, and most of what he does remember, he was reminded by family and photos.
I experienced a very painful period of grief and will never forget when my psychologist shared that our minds often repress things for protection and will not let them surface until one is strong enough to cope with them. I was blessed to have her guidance....
I started to watch this yesterday when y’all posted. I stopped and went and paid to watch it on prime first. Some of the stuff in the beginning really resonated with me… BUT THEN -- Oh my goodness. It’s subtle at first but then you see it. She’s a narcissist. I hope the people that have been following her find healing that they need and deserve. Also, I could NOT imagine walking back through my childhood trauma the way she has them do. I would be so so u stable to walk through it all without a professional. I had trauma after trauma until my mid 30’s. I just could not… I had already been in numerous different facilities over the years growing up and even then, I was suicidal. Anyway, I’m in a better place now, I still struggle but l Im in therapy every week and am actively working towards a better me. Much love and light yall. 🥳
Teal is brilliant. Found her ten years ago, her teachings have definately benefited me. I've never paid for anything and never will. People who get sucked into cults had the decision to do so lol. Don't be impressionable , you'll be fine.
I used to watched her RU-vid videos when I was completely devastated from a relationship. They helped me. But I don’t overly obsess over RU-vid creators.
Compare her reults with actual therapy. Youd be MORE shocked and realize our own mental health system is a billion times worse than what you could ever discover about Teal. And thats the REAL tragedy. If you think teal is bad... deep dive our own systems. Seriously.
I think what she says and talks about are very helpful in the sense that it simplifies a lot of things into a simple concept that stares you right in the face. Didn't know there were so many controversies about her.
Anytime one person or one group claims to know or have all the answers and needing money from you….. should be your sign to turn around and run the other way.
What I find most concerning about Teal Swan which Ive observed from her "workshops" is that her way of thinking is the one and only truth. She gracefully gaslights people in public, telling how people should feel/think. If she gets people to suppress their own truth, then you get willfully puppets. I'm pretty sure she is deep into Neuro Linguistic Programming.
This is a super interesting topic! I actually found her videos years ago and would watch them often, I was really into exploring that community on RU-vid. I remember at some point seeing a related video where it was this girl talking about how she met her and I guess was living with her and how she was being taken advantage of and just the weirdest requests she was having her do and I thought to myself like damn that sounds like a cult. It creeped me out so bad and I stopped watching her videos altogether and hadn’t really heard about her till recently when she popped up on my fyp on Tik tok.
I have PTSD and I can promise you that memories CAN be repressed. It’s normal to block out traumatic things that happened to you as a child. It’s not fair that I can’t at least sue my abuser for the lifetime of suffering they caused me. Edit: I spoke too soon! I should have known that you guys would cover those bases. We really don’t understand the brain.
Edgar Cayce was a true psychic and prophet who gave free readings for years and didn't seek to make a buck at the expense of people who sought him out for help. That is true spirituality.
@@Younggmetrononsense. A real spiritual person will always help people spiritually FOR FREE and make money to live from other means. Taking money in exchange for something sacred automatically taints it and invites low negative entities and low vibration. real goodness and real help asks nothing in return.
After looking through her content, If I’d found this woman a few years ago when I was very very lost and very alone and confused about my own existence and mental health…I might have fallen down her rabbit hole. It’s very scary how there are people out where with the intention of hurting you…without even knowing you.
I think Teal is only excited about aggrandizing herself and fleecing sheeple. I don’t know if she cares about the people she harms, but she also might not be intentional about hurting people. She probably does see herself as a “healer”
Dr Gabor Mate talks about the link between repressed anger and trauma with autoimmune disease, especially in women. I don't think Teal had it wrong there. But very interesting episode guys, I'm keen to watch "the deep end" 👍🏼
I never clicked a video so fast!!!!!!!!!! I had no idea. I’ve been watching her videos just like you when I was feeling lost 15+ years ago. I always thought she was quite different but whoa!!!! So ready to dive in ❤
This is the first time I've ever heard of her or seen her speak. She is very performative and manipulative. She smirks a lot when she speaks, and it's clear she knows she is attractive. People come to her for help because they are vulnerable, and she exploits them. She thinks she is incredibly clever and the more attention she receives, the more arrogant she becomes. I would not be surprised if she encourages people to take their own life so that she can test the strength of her power.
lol you must be intimidated by somebody who knows that they are good looking, big deal. Her answers have always been informative, and aligned with other conversations in the spirituality realm.
Don’t agree with Teal but will say it’s worth looking into the statistics of people with autoimmune conditions that have experienced serious trauma. PCOS is not an autoimmune condition but there are several studies linking the development of PCOS to women who experienced heavy childhood trauma. PTSD can also cause changes to your immune system resulting in greater risk of autoimmune conditions.
Things she says that may have truth to them require you pay serious attention to understand it cuz she is talking in riddles. Then the stuff she says clearly such as, “Suic*** is a reset button.” Is infinitely DANGEROUS and should be criminal. CULT. CULT.
The toad venom thing is a common spiritual practice of Amazon tribes, called “kombo”. It’s physically purging, not psychedelic. The top layer of skin is lightly burned in order to apply the medicine, this does not hurt, it’s not supposed to be then cut. Whatever she “saw” during that experience definitely could have been influenced by the facilitator.
I would love to see an episode on Joe Dispenza ! And maybe a more general episode on the ‘personal development/healing ‘ field and the harmful grifting that happens.
I love this type of content but sometimes it’s hard to keep track when the side conversations stray away for extended amounts of time from the main topic of the person the episode is about. Just my ADHD 2 cents.
I saw her at a spiritual event in London years ago when I was into this type of stuff. Didn’t know there was a documentary and also that Blake left. I’d be interested to see if she responds to this video! It’s a great episode, thanks so much for sharing it. There’s a huge spiritual community on RU-vid and totally unregulated.
The best way I’ve seen the divide between holistic and scientific medicine described was something to the effect of aloe for burns antibiotics for infections. That’s kind of the line that I follow, obviously it’s more complicated than that, but there’s a middle ground where you can use both traditional and modern medical knowledge. You can use herbal remedies and also get vaccinated.
I am very spiritual. I didn't reaonate with her at all. I meditate a lot. I practice many healing modalities and understand that I'm guiding someone in their journey, not healing them myself. I didn't know about her until I saw her show on hulu. Definitely a cult. She is unable to emotionally regulate, is manipulative and abusive, and uses her gifts in an unhealthy way. I do believe she is gifted, but she works out of ego.
Licensed therapists have an oversight board that act to monitor ethical practices. What’s scary with receiving therapy from a non licensed therapists is that it is the individual and patient’s responsibility to monitor that ethical behavior.
