369: Breaking Unconscious Patterns, Managing Anxiety & Learning to Surrender

Author: Satori Prime: Guy and Ilan Ferdman August 17, 2026 Duration: 1:03:37

In episode 369 of the Old Souls & Seekers podcast, Guy and Ilan Ferdman explore the challenges of parenting, teen anxiety, emotional regulation, and the unconscious patterns that shape our lives. Ilan shares his daughter Aaliyah's experience with intense anxiety and physical symptoms, opening a conversation about the importance of looking beyond the mind and learning to recognise what the body is communicating. They discuss how grounding, body-based regulation, and co-regulation can create greater safety and connection during difficult emotional experiences.

The conversation also explores the powerful urge to fix, control, and find immediate solutions when life becomes uncertain. Guy reflects on his own journey of confronting deeply rooted patterns and learning to surrender the need to always have an answer. Together, Guy and Ilan explore how difficult experiences can become opportunities for growth, and how letting go of control, staying present, and creating space for uncertainty can lead to deeper healing, clarity, and transformation.


Hosted by Guy and Ilan Ferdman of Satori Prime, Old Souls and Seekers is built on the idea that our recurring struggles aren't dead ends, but rather the starting point for genuine development.
