Ep 5 | A Multidimensional Conversation on Dissociation, Protective Patterns, and Liberation with Maurice Harvey Hall

In this multidimensional conversation, Tara Tao and Maurice Harvey Hall dive into an impromptu, unplanned, and deep exploration of the often hidden patterns of dissociation, spiritual bypass, avoidance, and addictive behaviors. 

Together, they unpack how trauma lives in the body, how protector parts form to help us survive, and how these parts can quietly block us from the very intimacy, truth, and creative life force we long to embody.

They explore how dissociation is not only a nervous system response, but often an inherited pattern passed down through generations—shaped by ancestral memory, multidimensional forces, colonization, and the cultural conditions that make disconnection feel safer than presence.

Through the frameworks of Internal Family Systems, parts work, somatic-based healing, and transgenerational insight, this episode opens a grounded and soulful inquiry into what it truly means to feel safe enough to heal—individually and collectively.

At its core, this is a conversation about how compassion—especially self-compassion—is not just a soft skill, but a revolutionary act. It is the vehicle that allows us to return to our bodies, our truth, and the parts of ourselves we were once taught to avoid.

Because healing is not just personal. It is ancestral. It is relational. And it is deeply collective.
