Intuitive Energy Healing and Breaking Old Patterns with Scott Clover
Episode Overview
- Observing your patterns is described as more than half of the healing work, making self-awareness a central focus.
- Accepting your existing reality, including uncomfortable truths about past behaviour or family dynamics, is presented as a key step toward change.
- People in recovery may struggle with meditation because they don’t feel safe in their bodies, so gentler somatic practices can be more helpful.
- Energetic reciprocity—balancing giving and receiving—is highlighted as vital to avoid depletion and reduce the pull toward addiction.
- Rather than "fake it till you make it", adopting and practising new patterns is suggested as a more honest and effective approach.
“"Recovery is unlearning that pattern. Accepting the existing reality that my dad was a jerk or my mom was a narcissist..."”
How do people cope with the challenges of staying sober when old patterns keep creeping back in? This conversation between host Tamar Medford and intuitive energy healer Scott Clover zeros in on exactly that question, using real-life recovery experiences as the backdrop. You’ll hear Tamar share how working with Scott shifted her experience of love, reciprocity and emotional tightness, especially around a fractured relationship and long-standing people-pleasing habits.
She talks about feeling energy move through her body, from chest and shoulders down into the ground, and how that sensation helped her finally start receiving love instead of bracing against it. Scott explains what he means by intuitive energy healing and why his clients jokingly call him an "energetic plumber". Rather than "forcing" healing, he guides people to recognise and work with their own energy patterns, including childhood wounds, ancestral influences and protective "invisibility cloaks" over painful memories.
He stresses that "observation is about 55% of the work"—once you see a pattern clearly, change becomes possible. For people in recovery who struggle with meditation, Scott offers a fresh angle: it might not be laziness, but feeling unsafe in the body. He talks about somatic approaches like grounding and breath work as gentler ways back into the body, especially when drugs and alcohol were once used to escape it.
The pair dig into ideas like accepting your existing reality, rethinking "fake it till you make it" as adopting new patterns, and finding an energetic balance between giving and receiving so you’re not constantly drained. Along the way, Scott keeps emphasising that he’s the "librarian" pointing to the right book, but you’re the one who has to read and do the work.
If you’re sober and still feel stuck in old emotional loops, could examining your energy patterns be the missing piece?
