In society, we commonly (mis)understand "mental health" issues physically. We consider symptoms to come from disorders - for example, we think anxiety is generated by a disorder labeled "anxiety," and depression is generated by "depression."

In truth, these are symptoms of a disturbance in the metaphysical. Soul disconnect causes anxiety and depression. "Mental health" issues are a manifestation of metaphysical disconnect in the soul or emotional / energetic body.

Tim and I discuss this common misunderstanding, and:

• The common foundation for "mental health" issues (living inauthentically; masking; the energy drain of repression and resisting a spiritual transofmration);
• The "institutional path" (traditional schooling) and why it never felt like school "made sense" to us;
• Seeking validation as a symptom of missing internal validation;
• The societal "cure" for feelings (to run away and distract), and how they make spiritual disconnect worse;
• The true "cure" of surrender, feeling, and duality of emotion - there's a purpose to pain, and going through it is what will bring us back home to our authentic selves.

Let's Get Metaphysical episodes will now come out biweekly! Part 2 of this conversation with Tim will air on May 16, 2025.
