Listen "The Attunement Podcast #15 — Grief, Helplessness, and the Quiet That Follows"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Samek and Harry explore what happens when wants shift without explanation. Samek shares the grief of losing his cat and how it opened him to deeper presence, quiet, and sorrow. Together, they unpack how following what you want—especially when it means leaving people behind—can feel both helpless and liberating. They talk through the mechanics of emotional release: how grief unfolds in waves, how helplessness reorganizes behavior, and how saying yes or no becomes clearer with somatic attention.Timestamps00:01 – Intro: Samek’s cat passed away,06:25 – upright apology13:07 – Fascia massage as metaphor for helplessness22:47 – love and grief begin to feel indistinguishable34:00 – Summer camp, romance, and following authentic contribution without obligation52:20 – Childhood dissociation, grief as initiation, emotional depth and development
