The role of identity in healing with Tara Kabatoff

Shadow, Soul, and the Body’s Intelligence Sessions From The Edge - Episode 2 In this episode of Sessions From The Edge, Paul Cobbin is joined by Tara Kabatoff, guide and facilitator working at the intersection of shadow work, metaphysics, and embodied self-mastery. This conversation explores one of the most difficult, and essential dimensions of healing: identity. Specifically, what happens when the soul sends signals through the body because the life we’re living is no longer aligned with who we truly are. Tara shares her own journey through identity fracture, addiction, overachievement, and a profound “dark night of the soul” that dismantled her former life and led her into years of deep inner work. What emerged was not a path of fixing or bypassing discomfort, but learning how to work consciously with the shadow, the suppressed emotions, beliefs, and patterns that quietly shape our health, choices, and sense of self. At the heart of the discussion is Tara’s work with Messages from the Body, inspired by Dr Michael Lincoln. She explains how physical symptoms, from colds and inflammation to chronic conditions, are often the body’s final communication system, pointing toward unacknowledged fear, emotional suppression, and identity misalignment. Rather than seeing illness as an enemy, Tara invites listeners to view symptoms as meaningful signals asking for attention, slowing down, and truth. Paul shares reflections from his own lived experience with repeated pneumonia, prostate cancer, and heart disease, highlighting how decades of stress and suppressed emotion showed up physically long before diagnosis arrived. Together, they explore how identity can quietly fuse with illness and how reclaiming agency begins by separating who we are from what we’re experiencing. The conversation then moves into shadow work, where Tara explains that the shadow isn’t something to eliminate or “heal away,” but a gateway to deeper wholeness. Anger, fear, shame, and emotional contraction are not flaws, they are signals. When ignored or suppressed, they can manifest as inflammation and chronic stress in the body. When met consciously, they become pathways to awareness, trust, and freedom. Tara also discusses her projects The Odyssey of Self, The Shadow Project, and the evolving Body Codex, a growing library that decodes physical symptoms and body parts through emotional, behavioural, and belief-based patterns, paired with practical contrast exercises to support realignment. In the final segment, Tara shares how symbolic tools like tarot, numerology, and astrology can act as mirrors to the unconscious, helping people access insight, confirmation, and clarity when logic alone falls short. These tools are presented not as prediction systems, but as languages of the soul as ways of listening more deeply to inner guidance. The episode closes with a powerful reflection for anyone standing at the edge of a new diagnosis: What do you really want? Not just relief from symptoms, but the life, feeling, and identity your deeper self is calling you toward. This is a grounded, expansive conversation about trust, fear, embodiment, and the quiet intelligence within us, especially when life cracks us open.
