Welcome to the first episode of Somatics on Screen, a new Your Own Medicine Podcast subseries where I analyze TV and film through the lens of somatic psychology.And for episode one, we’re starting with the pilot of Sex and the City.We’re looking underneath the dating drama at what might be happening in the body: attachment patterns, the fawn response, relational anxiety, self-abandonment, and the ways our nervous systems can shape how we date, who we pursue, and how we try to secure connection.We talk Carrie, Big, Samantha, Charlotte, Miranda, and the pilot’s whole experiment with women attempting to have sex “like men” — while asking what some of these behaviors might look like when viewed through attachment and nervous-system frameworks rather than simply as “good” or “bad” dating decisions.Basically: somatic psychology meets my desire to aggressively overanalyze television.If you have a TV show or movie you think would be particularly juicy for Somatics on Screen, send me your recommendations. I’m building the list for future episodes.FREE: Capacity to Be Disliked MeditationA free somatic practice for building more nervous-system capacity for someone to be disappointed in you, disagree with you, or simply… not like you.JOIN THE COVENMy monthly Kali Somatics membership for ongoing somatic education, live workshops, Q&A/coaching, and deeper conversations around fawning, boundaries, anger, relationships, and everything we get into here.https://stan.store/kalisomatics/p/the-coven-kali-somatics-monthly-membershipSEXUAL FAWNING COURSEAn on-demand course for understanding sexual fawning and building a more embodied relationship with consent, desire, boundaries, pleasure, and your body’s yes/no/maybe.https://stan.store/kalisomatics/p/sexual-fawning-course
