Beliefs, Truths, and Trances of Identity

🎙️

Where do our beliefs come from—and how many of them do we actually know we have?
In this episode, Ruckus and James dig deep into the murky, layered world of unconscious beliefs and the way they silently shape our reality.

From invisible operating systems to emotional trances masquerading as truth, this conversation unpacks the complexity of belief in changework.

They touch on everything from Byron Katie’s process to Taoist ideas of truth and usefulness, all through the lens of real-world examples and client work.
This one’s especially for the practitioners who want to help clients loosen the grip of what feels true—but isn’t necessarily serving.
