In this episode, Dr. K explores “the deep hurt”—a persistent inner ache that can remain even when life is going well and traditional healing improves symptoms like anxiety, depression, or trauma responses. He describes how this pain can feel unusually dense and powerful, sometimes even adding depth, creativity, and compassion rather than simply feeling “bad.” Dr. K walks through several possible explanations—ranging from early “primitive” trauma, to generational/epigenetic inheritance, to spiritual frameworks like karma and reincarnation—while acknowledging that none fully explain it yet. He closes by introducing a Buddhist concept of bodhicitta, or the “wound of compassion,” suggesting that deep inner peace can sometimes open into a profound sensitivity to others’ suffering, which can become a source of purpose and meaningful action.



Topics covered include:
How the “deep hurt” can persist even after mental health symptoms improve
Why healing can make this pain feel more intense or more noticeable
Possible explanations: unformulated unconscious material, primitive early trauma, and epigenetic inheritance
Spiritual frameworks Dr. K considers: meditation, past-life impressions, karma/reincarnation
Bodhicitta and the “wound of compassion” as a path from inner peace to deeper empathy and purpose
