This Spiritual Fix

What meditation works for you? What is it like to do tantra? How do you best communicate with a loved one? Kristina Wiltsee & Anna Stromquist are two best friends on a quest to try all things spiritual in order to attain enlightenment — or just stay sane while juggling a lot on their plates. Their internationally recognized podcast hits close to home for many people who are struggling for peace amidst the pain of trauma, emotional wounds, and neurodivergent brains. As we uncover deeper layers of ourselves, they teach, with humor, that there is nothing to fix – just more of us to love.

If kink had nothing to do with your sexuality, but rather with how much you let life turn you on — how kinky are you? How kinky are you willing to let yourself be? In this episode two best friends discuss how to dissolve one’s resistance to life with pleasure. They discuss the merging philosophies of Internal Family Systems and Existential Kink to help you gain more access to radical self-acceptance.

Bonus #17 Kristina's Updated Episode : Reflections on the Drama Triangle Apr 19, 2022

Show notes

We are taking a break between seasons three and four, but airing our favorite episodes of all time. This is Kristina's pick, which originally aired in Season Two, as Episode 12 on August 24, 2021.It is the final part of the drama triangle series. Feel free to go back to season two to hear the entire five part series.

August 24

How has stepping back from the drama triangle changed your life? In today’s episode Anna and Kristina reflect upon the lessons presented in the drama triangle series and how this work has impacted their lives, personally, professionally, and romantically.

Also discussed in today’s episode: Dorito chip crumbs, next-level rescuing, and enhancing psychic abilities.

Anna & Kristina’s Hacks for Stepping Out of the Drama Triangle:

Ask directly for your needs to be met.
Before asking for your needs, make sure you are acting and not reacting (only bringing up the issue at hand).
Address your needs as they arise (don’t wait and then explode).
Address your inner drama triangle (your inner persecutor, inner victim, and inner rescuer).
Practice self-love.
When triggered, ask yourself, “Do I want to be the victim/persecutor/rescuer today?, “Is there really cheese at the end of this tunnel?” “How can I get my needs met without drama?”
Practice forgiveness and love for the persecutor, rescuer, victim, and inner critic (that annoyed witness).
