Summary

Sheleana Aiyana, author of Becoming the One and founder of the Rising Woman community, joins Lewis Howes to discuss conscious relationships, attachment wounds, trauma bonding, and somatic healing. Drawing on Peter Levine's somatic experiencing and his book Waking the Tiger, Imago therapy from Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt, and Gottman Institute research, Aiyana covers nervous system regulation, inner child re-parenting, the father wound, and the shadow vows she created with her husband before marriage.
