About this Episode

Why do we sometimes hold back what we really think, struggle to set boundaries or change who we are to be accepted?

In this episode of Radiant Voices, Jeremy de Tolly speaks with Hiba Balfaqih, psychologist, somatic therapist and creator of the Mind Hacking Process, about the unconscious patterns that shape how we communicate and connect with others.

They explore people-pleasing and the fawn response, suppressed anger, the body's stress responses and the invisible rules around obedience, fear, scarcity and control that can keep us from expressing ourselves authentically.

Hiba also shares the story behind her Rage Room business, explains how jealousy can reveal our deeper desires, and discusses how identifying unconscious beliefs can help us reclaim our sense of self. Together, Jeremy and Hiba explore why authentic communication begins with understanding ourselves, including the parts we have learned to hide.
