The Pilamaya Podcast is a series from the Pilamaya Centre (UK) featuring conversations about integration psychotherapy, consciousness, and personal transformation. Hosted by Shaura Hall, it explores merging ancient wisdom with modern therapy, focusing on themes like relational healing and emotional growth.
In this episode on the theme of Belonging and, by association, the deep wound of feeling you don’t belong, co-hosts Susan and Shaura are joined by Pilamaya's newly appointed Community Liaison Administrator and Pilamaya-trained fellow Integration Psychotherapist, Emily Wallace.
Emily shares how, for her, Belonging feels like it sits at the centre of being human — whether that be belonging to place within community, on land, within family systems, in time, or to the self.
Susan shares how in her life, the wound of Not Belonging opened the pathway back to Belonging to Self, (what Carl Jung would have called Individuation).
And all three acknowledge how, for those for whom when Belonging has not been modelled in earlier life stages, any invitation to truly Belong can feel threatening, and for a system has no understanding of what it might mean to belong securely to anything or anyone and perhaps confrontational.
Shaura concludes, “Essentially where we get to in the therapeutic space is around the question of belonging to Self. And at the end, if we can open ourselves to the infinite possibilities that are available for self-understanding and self-expression, then we begin to belong to the realm of possibility and therefore to life itself.”
This is a heartfelt and ultimately uplifting discussion on the ways Integration Psychotherapy invites us to find and even create new ways to Belong.
To ourselves.
To our soul community.
To the new wave of consciousness that waits for those who hear the call.
To those new frameworks of Belonging that are making their way through the noise.
