🎙️ Podcast Title
Beyond spiritual bypassing: Integrating Spirituality and the Body for best healing results
How One Therapist Moved From Non-Duality to Embodied Wholeness
🌟 Podcast Description
What happens when spiritual realization meets unresolved pain in the body? In this powerful and vulnerable episode, we explore the vital connection between spiritual practices and body-centered healing.
Shauna welcomes Ali, a seasoned therapist and coach with 20+ years of diverse experience, to unpack the limitations of purely spiritual approaches like non-duality when it comes to real, human suffering—and the transformational power of returning to the body.
Whether you’re on a spiritual path that’s left your body behind, or a healing journey that’s seeking deeper soul integration, this episode is your reminder: Healing and wholeness lives in the union of both.
👤 Meet Our Guest: Ali
Ali is a holistic therapist, cognitive hypnotherapist, breathwork facilitator, and meditation practitioner with over two decades of experience. Having trained in the Three Principles, non-duality and somatic practices, she brings a rare integration of mind, body, and spirit. Her own healing journey through anxiety, disconnection, and spiritual bypassing led her to the profound work of inner child reconnection and the embodied wisdom of the “incorr” method.
🧩 In This Episode, We Explore:
- Ali’s personal and professional journey from nutritional medicine to deep spiritual and body-based work
- The promises and blind spots of non-dual spiritual teachings
- Why body-based healing is essential, especially for those with trauma, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm
- How the body holds memory and why reconnection can be painful but necessary
- The importance of integrating spiritual insight with embodied presence
- The practitioner's role in meeting clients with nuance, safety, and individualized support
- How reconnecting with the body leads not away from spirituality, but deeper into it
💡 Reflection Questions for Listeners:
- Have I used spiritual practices to avoid feeling discomfort or pain in my body?
- What might shift if I brought loving attention to my body’s unmet needs?
- How do I know when I’m bypassing—and what helps me return?
🧘🏽♀️ Final Word
There is no need to choose between your spirit and your body. In fact, your deepest healing may come when the two are in loving dialogue. Listen in and be reminded: your essence lives not above the body, but through it.

Are you a Therapist, Counsellor or Coach?
Are you passionate about helping your client find and heal the root cause of their suffering but find that they frequently get stuck in the therapeutic process ?
Does any of the following sound familiar ?
- Clients who have an inability to discuss or bring awareness of difficult emotions
- Clients who are stuck in story, often blaming others
- Clients who have an inability to access their emotional content due to the fear of nervous system activation, resulting in you fearing to re-traumatise your client
- An inability for your client to identify the source of their suffering, therefore feeling hopeless and leading to comorbidity.
- Clients who become stuck and fail to fully commit to the therapeutic process with frequent DNA’s
As therapists, we know the answer is to find the source of their suffering and that source is deep in the unexplored depths of past experiences. These unique experiences are locked into the body and mind.
The reality though, for most of our clients, is that being invited to the source of that pain is terrifying. For them, those depths are simply not a safe place to be and, as a result, the wonderful, benevolent tool - the mind, says ” No, we will NOT go there! “
When this happens, your client becomes stuck and therefore blocked from further therapeutic processing.
Facilitating our clients to safely & without re-traumatising, find the source of their suffering is vital to successfully complete their therapeutic process. We need a scaffolding process that safely facilitates the clients access and exploration of their wounded self.
In this episode, we'll be focusing on moving beyond the narratives and getting deeper into the embodied emotional experiences for your clients. You'll learn the four components of emotional shutdown and the roadmap for understanding why it is so difficult for our clients to move beyond 'story'.

When we think of experienced trauma, we often associate it with extreme difficulty, very limited life experiences, a breakdown even, but what about when trauma is insidious & low lying. When it doesn’t have the big stories of breakdown attached. Instead it’s pushed away and managed day to day, you tell yourself it’s not important, it could be worse but still, it pops up in everyday life. What then?
My guest today is Armandee Drew and this was her experience of trauma until one day…
Armandee is an executive trauma informed leadership coach. She & I have been working together now for a few years both personally & professionally and I’m delighted that we are able to bring this discussion to you.
I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

In today’s episode I’m joined by the founder of Roe Valley Therapy Centre, Siobhan Wison-McGlinchey. We are talking about anxiety in children. What are its presenting issues, treatment and what we can do as parents to help ourselves to help our children.
A quick google search will tell you that in Northern Ireland alone: ‘1 in 8 children and young people meet the diagnostic criteria for common mood and anxiety disorders’.
I can certainly reiterate that as it’s something that I am asked to work with every single day and Siobhan is my first referral pathway.
A qualified child & adolescent psychotherapist, humanistic integrative counsellor and a play therapist, Siobhan is known as ‘The Creative Psychotherapist’. She specialises in working with early developmental trauma and is passionate about working with both children and adults. As well as her 1-1 sessions, Siobhan has also developed a number of programmes and workshops which I’ll link in the show notes below.

In today’s episode I’m joined by psychotherapist, Jason Shiers.
From the age of 10 years old, Jason had 15 different diagnoses in the mental health system and was told by professionals that he had depression. They even questioned if he was ever going to get better. But he knew that these ‘diagnosis’ were only a description of his symptoms. He also knew that the current systems were not set up to help him find the cause.
“I could sit in the dark, it was comfortable there but no one knew where the light switch was. No one ever pointed me within or what that meant. I didn’t know that joy existed”
Today Jason is the founder of ‘Wide World Coaching’, creator of the ‘Infite Recovery Project’ and host of ‘Misunderstandings of the Mind’ podcast. So, I think you’ll agree this is an amazing story of transformation.
At the very end of our conversation, I asked Jason “if you had of heard our conversation today, all them years ago when you were in that darkness what would you have thought?”
He said this: “I would like to think that I would have sensed that there was something different from what I know in the suffering. A different place to look, a different way to see things. Hope…”
I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

In the last 2 episodes we’ve talked about primary & secondary pain. Today, to finish off the series we’re going to look at ‘the hierarchy of pain’
***All three of these are interlinked and are a particular phenomenon during the healing journey but where we begin today in this discussion is the dissolving of the secondary pain.
I’m going to read for you part of the 7th chapter of the book and while you are listening or watching on youtube, again my intention is for you to think about your own inner world - Can you see your own hierarchy of pain?***
I’ve also linked below to the complete chapter of the book. When you have listened to this episode I suggest reading that chapter and working through the short exercises that are included. This will help you immensely on your healing journey.

Last week talked about secondary pain. Today we’re going to have an indepth look into primary pain, what it means and how it drives secondary pain .
I’m going to read for you part of the 2nd chapter of book and while you are listening or watching on youtube my intention is for you to think about your own inner world - what is your secondary pain & what is your primary pain. Can you identify the difference?
Primary pain is the root cause of our whole pain experience and is felt in the emotional body. It is the endless thought streams. The endless stream of words, thoughts, ideas, identification and evidence of the pain you are experiencing and often it’s not available to our consciousness. Let me explain, let’s begin.

Welcome to the 4th season of the podcast, where I’ll be talking about finding & healing the root cause of our suffering. Understanding what happened inside of us as a result of our trauma and working with primary pain, so that we can finally heal and be free from the pain of our past.
It’s going to be just you and me today and for the next 2 episodes because I want to start this season off by talking to you about the resistance or blocks that prevent us from healing.
I want to begin by talking about the ‘products & functions of the mind’. You’re going to get a sneek peek of my upcoming book too because I’ll be reading a chapter that will explain and hopefully help you to understand the reasons why we get blocked and why so often we experience resistance to healing.
I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey. So, let’s begin.

In today’s episode I am joined by Dr. Kristin Wild, PhD & RPC.
Dr. Kristin is the founder of Modern Health Solution, creator of Awareness Therapy and a holistic health educator.
After years of treatment for her diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis Kristin found herself on a constant cycle of hope-despair and when she inevitably hit rock bottom she knew she had to start finding answers to healing this disease herself. Now, she works with women who have autoimmune helping them discover their own healer within.
I am often asked if I work directly with clients who have autoimmune. Although not directly, I do work with the trauma that may have been the cause of autoimmune, so I’m thrilled to have this conversation with a wonderful practitioner today who has so much experience & expertise on this subject to share with you all.
If you have been suffering with autoimmune then you’ll not want to miss this episode. We are going to deep dive into its' causes, connections to trauma, the effects & most importantly, the treatments.
I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

This week I'm sharing Day 2 of my recent masterclass with the intention of helping you if you are on a healing journey and have become stuck in that process. This will also be helpful for any therapists or coaches out there who’s clients are experiencing this too.
In this episode I'll introduce you to 'Wrapping'. A psychological phenomenon that is unique to my modality The Clearing Method. Over the next hour, I'm going to help you understand 'wrapping' in more detail with the intention that it helps move you (or your client) on to the next stage of the healing journey.

Over the next 2 weeks the episodes are going to be a little different because I want to share some content with you that I think will really help if you are on a healing journey and have become stuck in that process. This will also be helpful for any therapists or coaches out there who’s clients are experiencing this.
When we are seeking answers for our pain & suffering, the source is usually found deep in the unexplored depths of past experiences. These unique experiences become locked into the body and mind.
The reality though, for most of us is that being invited to explore the source of that pain is terrifying. It's not a safe place to be and as a result the mind says “No, we will NOT go there!”
When that happens, we become stuck from any further therapeutic processing stopping us in our tracks on our healing journey.
So how do we prevent this from happening? This is what I want to share with you over the next 2 weeks.
I recently held a 2 Day workshop entitled: Why the Mind Says NO to Therapy. This week's podcast episode is the recording of Day 1 of the workshop. Next week, I’ll share Day 2 .
I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

***It’s just you and me again this week. No guests, just us and my thoughts on a particular subject. Today that is the topic of "I'm not enough"
I hear it time and time again in clinical session, I see it everywhere online but here's the thing..."I'm not enough" is not a generic statement and it is never as it seems when presented in therapy.
For each of us "I'm not enough" is as unique as our own finger print . Join me and I’ll explain more.*I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within.

Welcome to the 3rd season where I’ll be talking about finding & healing the root cause of our suffering. Understanding what happened inside of us as a result of our trauma and working with primary pain, so that we can finally heal and be free from the pain of our past.
It’s just you and me this week. No guests, just us and my thoughts (or maybe a rant) on this topic & I know this week’s episode title is startling so let me explain.
All too often, when you have experienced a relationship with a narcissist and are trying to heal, the focus is on the why - “that is why I do what I do” “this is why I am the way that I am”
That’s not enough to heal though. Let’s talk about the ‘what’
So, when I say “so what” I don’t mean it as ‘who cares’ I mean, so what did that do to you? What can you do to heal from the trauma & the internal experience of that.
Join me and I’ll explain more.
I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

“When you dismiss your pain as an illusion, you are depriving yourself of the gateway” - Hugh Osborne
That is exactly what Hugh had been doing for years on his healing journey - dismissing his pain as an illusion because that is what his spiritual practice taught him to do.
Hugh has been a therapist for over 15years now. He spent many years on the spiritual path and although he had amazing insights along the way, the strength of his pain continued to “call him back in”. He knew that he had more healing work to do but found himself lost, having exhausted all possibilities, he had no where else to go.
Hugh and I began working together in early 2020. His journey back to his real self has been phenomenal. He so beautifully describes it as ”resting in your essence as a product of healing your pain”
*In this wonderful conversation that you are about to listen to Hugh shares his experiences of spiritual healing and gives us an insightful look into that world.
Hugh is also one of my Clearing Specialists. You can connect with Hugh via my website - shaunaquigley.com*I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within.

In this episode it’s just you and me. No guests, just us and my thoughts on a particular subject that, I’m sure you know by now, I am passionate about. That subject is the theory of trauma. In particular the theory of understanding our trauma.
What I find time and time again, is despite all of the information out there on understanding trauma, all of the theory, all of the knowledge, it only takes us so far on our healing journey.
Join me and I’ll explain more.

My guest this week is Jeff Brown - Author, Teacher, Enrealment Activist & Grounded Spiritualist.
My relationship with Jeff began with him being a mentor. He has supported and guided me, pushing me forward in the work that I do. Now a good friend, I am absolutely delighted to be sharing our conversation with you.
Today we’re discussing Jeff’s new book: Humanifestations
For me, this is a book that speaks to all aspects of human life - hurt, pain, hope, healing, relationships, the need for love. All of it. All of what it is to be human but in a grounded & heart centred way. Each time I picked it up I felt connected to myself & the world again. It brought me back home to me and gave me permission to accept all that I am.
That is my intention in sharing this conversation with you.
I hope that you too, know that it’s OK to be human. To accept the wondrous YOU. Who you are and where you are right now. And if that place is on a healing journey, maybe you want to go deeper inside and do some inner work, maybe you don’t and that’s ok.
I only ask one thing…if you do go deeper inside to clear the pain of your past, you do it all from your body, not your head. You feel it all. Every single part of it because that is where true healing comes from. “The uniqueness of the human story and everybody’s particular reason for being here are worth fighting for - fighting for the rights of your story” - Jeff Brown
I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

Welcome to the 3rd season where I’ll be talking about finding & healing the root cause of our suffering. Understanding what happened inside of us as a result of our trauma and working with primary pain, so that we can finally heal and be free from the pain of our past.
My guest this week is Leona O’Neill - Head of Undergraduate Journalism at Ulster University and advocate of better mental health in newsrooms.
Leona’s esteemed career in journalism began almost 25years ago. She has worked all over N.Ireland, fearlessly reporting on everything from rallies to presidential visits, interviewing pop stars to covering the riots on the streets of N.Ireland.
4 years ago Leona’s emotional world was torn apart when she witnessed the horrific murder of fellow journalist, Lyra McKee. In the hours and days that followed, Leona found herself struggling internally to stay in what she describes as “her reporter mode - where it was safe and nothing could touch her”.
Fast forward 1 year and she was exhausted, burnt out from work - the one thing that was meant to protect her from the internal impact of what she had witnessed. Leona was now suffering with debilitating anxiety so she courageously sought help and her journey with PTSD began. A journey that forced her to turn in, look inward and that ultimately gave her her voice back.
A truly inspirational story of the strength & power of the human condition that you won’t want to miss.

Welcome to the 3rd season. In this series I’ll be talking about finding & healing the root cause of our suffering. Understanding what happened inside of us as a result of our trauma and working with primary pain, so that we can finally heal and be free from the pain of our past.
Over the next 4 weeks the episodes are going to be a little different and here’s why.
Last week I held a 4 Day Summit on the effective treatment of anxiety. My intention was to teach the basic principles of my Anxiety Model to professionals working in the field of mental health. The reality was that we had so many registrants for the summit that in fact were not professionals in that field. Who they were, were human beings who have been suffering with anxiety for years, sometimes decades and they wanted help. Not help to manage the physical symptoms of anxiety but help to finally heal from it. Help to get to the root cause of why they are experiencing it.
I wasn’t surprised at this…I would have signed up for anything that I thought would have helped me back then too but I worried that sharing this information to someone without training would be too much.
I needed have. The feedback that I received was overwhelming. This was making sense to them and for most, it was the first time that they felt really understood and heard. It was giving them hope that they could finally heal with the right support and guidance of course.
***So now my intention is this: I want to share the summit with you in the hope that if you know someone or you are experiencing anxiety that you too feel heard, understood and most importantly know there is a way out.
Today’s episode is the recording of Day 1 of the summit. Next week, I’ll share Day 2 and so on but if you would like to listen to all episodes right now head on over to my website www.shaunaquigley.com You’ll find the link to the replay page there.***

Welcome to the 3rd season. In this series I’ll be talking about finding & healing the root cause of our suffering. Understanding what happened inside of us as a result of our trauma and working with primary pain, so that we can finally heal and be free from the pain of our past.
This episode is about the power of the human condition. The innate desire that is inside of us to heal, live and thrive.
Today’s guest is Michael. An exceptional artist and poet from N.Ireland. He bravely takes us with him as he reflects on his healing journey. A journey that began 17 yrs ago with a diagnosis of depression. Michael spent the next 10+ years managing his symptoms using various techniques and modalities, as well as running a support group for others who were in the same situation. Even though those techniques helped, Michael was still struggling and when the wisdom of his wounds began to emerge somatically in his body his will and determination to heal soon took over.
Michael’s hope is that this conversation will help anyone listening move towards healing too. A beautiful conversation that you won’t want to miss.
I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

In this week’s episode I revisit one of the most honest and raw conversations I have had about healing anxiety. I was joined by former clients and therapists who have come through my Anxiety & Panic Training Programme both personally and professionally.
**All of my guests have their own unique lived experience with anxiety. In this conversation, they bravely share those experiences so beautifully with you. All with a heartfelt intention that, if you too are experiencing anxiety it will give you hope. Hope that it is possible to heal it and if you need help in doing that then please reach out.

Welcome to the 3rd season. In this series I’ll be talking about finding & healing the root cause of our suffering. Understanding what happened inside of us as a result of our trauma and working with primary pain, so that we can finally heal and be free from the pain of our past.
This episode is about the existential core treat of anxiety and how it is so possible to get past that…not manage it, but really get to the root cause and heal it.
Today I'll be talking to Elaine.
Elaine has achieved huge success in her career as a PHI Brow Artist. So much so that she is now a Master Trainer and has recently worked with one of Hollywood’s finest! Fair to say she is absolutely thriving but it wasn’t always like that and in this episode she’ll take us right back to the beginning of her healing journey. To the existential threat of anxiety that she was experiencing leading her to believe that there was, what she describes as “ a deep darkness inside of her”.
This is a lady who has worked hard to get where she is today both professionally and personally and this is a story of hope for anyone who is experiencing anxiety thinking there is no way out.
I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

Finding a logical and practical solution to the emotional and mental pain that we suffer can bring immense relief. We find a new hobby, we employ the tips, techniques and latest trends that we see on tick tock and instagram to help move and soothe the hurt. We are getting somewhere with this, it’s working, we feel better. But what happens when that pain continues to show up in different places, different faces, at different times?
I call this the hurt - hope - despair cycle. You think that you understand the hurt, begin to work with it, feel immense hope and then after a while realise that you are chasing ghosts. You realise that the problem that you thought you had solved is now showing up in a different way. You are exhausted with the effort, despairing about what to do next and asking yourself “why?”
Why does this keep happening? What am I doing wrong? Why can’t I just get better?
In this workshop I’m going to help you understand why. I will share with you the biggest barrier to achieving real transformation of trauma. I’ve seen it time and time again in clinical practice and most worryingly, it’s being presented as a cure for mental health today in our healthcare system.
Join me for this podcast where I’m going to show you how to move beyond the hurt - hope - despair cycle so that you can finally be free from the pain of your past. So that you can heal at last.
Welcome to the 3rd season. In this series I’ll be talking about finding & healing the root cause of our suffering. Understanding what happened inside of us as a result of our trauma and working with primary pain, so that we can finally heal and be free from the pain of our past.
***This episode is about courage and bravery. The courage to face ourselves, the bravery to change and knowing that it is never too late to do it.
Today I'll be talking to Sean.
Sean was manager of some of Ireland's most prominent clubs . He is a UEFA Pro Licence coach and the founder of Mind Aware. He speaks openly about his emotional wounds as a young footballer and how this led to one simple decision that would forever direct his life.
This is a fascinating insight into the world of professional football, toxic masculinity, core emotional wounds and the bravery to face it all and change.***
I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

In this 2nd episode I'll be sharing some of the issues that I hear most frequently in my clinical practice or sessions as I like to call them. I want to share these with you so that we can demystify the healing process and learn how universal the healing process is.
Homecoming is returning to a place that you cherish after a long absence. It evokes a sense of nostalgia and comfort. The same can be said when you have done the brave inner work and have finally healed the pain of your past. You've come home to the you that you always knew was in there but, it's not always a joyous reunion. It can be a painful, heartbreaking reunion because of all that has been lost and missed whilst you were in the darkness of pain and recovery.
I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

In this first episode I'll be talking to Donna.
Donna is a cognitive hypnotherapist and master neuro linguistic practitioner with over 10 years experience working in private practice. She will be taking us on her journey through and with sobriety. Donna believed sobriety would be the answer to all of the issues she was experiencing but there was "always a but, always a missing part''. You'll hear her raw but beautiful story of uncovering that missing part - her primary pain. How she bravely processed and used the wisdom of that pain to finally heal the pain of her past. Now nearing completion of her training in The Clearing Method Programme with me, she is embarking on a new venture as a Clearing Specialist so that she can help others do exactly the same.
I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

This lady has given me permission to share this with you all.
How brave, selfless and kind of her to do that and I thank her from the bottom of my heart.
She didn't know where her difficulty came from.
It took a lot of previous work to get to this point but by working somatically and guided by my ' Clearing Method ' she was taken straight to the source of her pain.
Now, she can continue with her healing journey.
Amazing !!
