Our political views can feel like conscious choices — shaped by values, logic, or experience. But what if they also come from something much deeper?
In this episode of Enlightened Conversations, we explore how the emotional imprints from our earliest developmental stages shape how we relate to power, freedom, safety, and community — the very forces that fuel political identity. Whether we gravitate toward structure, self-reliance, or protection (often seen in conservative values) — or toward empathy, inclusivity, and reform (often seen in progressive values) — our nervous systems are telling a story far older than party lines.
These aren’t just ideologies. They’re emotional survival strategies, shaped long before we could vote.
This is a conversation about politics, yes — but also about healing, self-awareness, and what it means to engage with the world and vote from a more integrated place.
