767. Embodiment and the Blind Spots in Modern Therapy - With Andrew Hartz

In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist Andrew Hartz to explore emotional dysregulation, attention, and embodiment in the context of modern life and culture. We look at why so many people feel overwhelmed, reactive, or disconnected from themselves in increasingly fast and fragmented environments. Andrew suggests that what often appears as ideological or cultural conflict can be better understood through the lens of emotional regulation—specifically the difficulty of tolerating complexity, ambiguity, and discomfort. From an embodiment perspective, we explore how these patterns are not just cognitive, but deeply physiological and rooted in the nervous system. We also discuss "splitting" as a psychological pattern of black-and-white thinking, and how it shapes perception, identity, and interpersonal conflict. Alongside this, we explore the role of over-labeling, self-diagnosis, and the limitations of purely conceptual ways of understanding human experience. Finally, we examine how modern technology, attention fragmentation, and reduced embodied presence may be impacting regulation, connection, and wellbeing, and what it might take to rebuild a more grounded, integrated way of being in a complex world. ---------------------------------------------- Become a certified embodiment coach.
