Releasing the Stress of Negative Events

In today's practice, we explore how incorporating a pose, intentional relaxation, and some tiny movement can help us create a new emotional experience around a negative event. 

We will particularly focus on relaxing the psoas muscles, which tense when an upsetting event occurs. 

So get comfy - this is a good one!

Year of the Inner Child: Balance

Finding flow and balance in our lives really creates this beautiful sweet spot where we are able to “allow the wisdom of [our] emotions and the structure of [our] thoughts to become our teachers and guides.

Trying to navigate life when we are overextended and under supported (in other words, out of balance) is, well, simply, a shit show :)

Let’s explore how we can gently but firmly parent ourselves in these moments so we can experience balance and ease.

Mudita & Dan: Communicating Like a Bad Ass

      

Communication is the bedrock of our interactions, yet few of us are taught to talk and listen in a way that fosters clarity and connection. Too often, our communication habits lead to confusion, misunderstandings, bruised feelings, damaged relationships, and avoidable conflict.

In this episode of the Beyond Surviving Podcast, I connect with Mudita Nisker and Dan Clurman, authors of Let's Talk: An Essential Guide to Skillful Communication, about how to change that.

We discuss the how to’s (and to not’s) of communication along with their Top 3 strategies for communicating like a bad ass!

Mudita wants you to know that, "Communication is spiritual in the sense that it fosters compassion. And part of compassion is recognizing that we are all suffering on some level and to open our hearts to that with kindness to ourselves and others."

Dan wants you to know that, "In communication there is mutual understanding and that is a beginning element. The more I understand myself and someone else in conversation, the more I'm touched by the other person's experiences, the more I'm affected, the more I have some sense of empathy and thus able to recognize how interdependent we all are."

Year of the Inner Child: Self-Esteem

I know having a strong sense of self and believing in and loving yourself is one of the biggest hurdles we have to jump when it comes to healing from trauma.

The good news is, you don't have to wait until you "have it all together" for you to start feeling good about who you are and celebrating that and loving yourself for that!

To embracing your unique self!

Why is moving important for nervous system regulation?

As we continue our journey in exploring ways to increase nervous system regulation, we now turn our attention to movement based practices. 

Today, I’ll share with you the seven key was movement-based practices change the brain and help us develop both interoception (our ability to “feel inside” ourselves) and proprioception (our ability to sense body position, movement, and balance).

I’ll also give you some simple ways to get started incorporating movement into your breathing/grounding practices.

Year of the Inner Child: Defenses

For sure, abuse leads us to create elaborate defense structures and mechanisms all towards to goal of, "That will never happen again! I will never be hurt that way again!"

Trouble is, those walls don't just keep others out - they keep you in.

To heal and to free our inner child, we must learn how to slowly and bit by bit and with discernment lower our walls.

Do you want answers as to why you are feeling and reacting the way are?

 Today, I want to take a moment to introduce you to Joanne. We connected back in 2020, and I knew right away that Joanne was "my people". That's mostly because, like so many people who decide to take the leap and join Beyond Surviving, she expressed to me her exhaustion and frustration with doing so much "talking" about trauma and healing, but never feeling like things were actually changing.

Can you relate?

She also expressed how crazy it felt to accept help from "some strange woman" on the internet, but she'd done her homework. Checked out my podcast, tried out my 28-Day Boot Camp for the Brain program, and participated in the Healing from S*xual Abuse Facebook group (by the way, fun fact, Joanne is now one of our mighty comment moderators who shows up to support others in this community - that's just one representation of how far she's come!).

Witnessing Joanne's growth in the program was super satisfying. She tackled speaking to family members about the abuse, deepened her relationship with her husband, got back to creating art (in fact, is now doing art full-time!!), let go of, in her words, being a "total control freak", and reclaimed her power (and more!).

Hear Joanne tell it in her own words:

So now, I ask you to take a deep breath. Notice the "yeah but's" that are coming up, and then for just a moment, imagine not feeling alone anymore, feeling understood, having a safe space to heal, and getting real tools that are going to help you heal and thrive - notice how that feels....

And most importantly - imagine that YOU DESERVE IT!

If you're ready to take the next step - then don't miss out on the next Beyond Surviving Group Program that starts August 1st.

Intimacy


As survivors of childhood sexual abuse, we bring certain issues to our intimate relationships. Some of the issues that complicate intimate relationships for us are power, control, trust, and self-esteem. Usually there are patterns in our intimate relationships that have a lot to do with our childhood sexual abuse.

Year of the Inner Child: Independence

Sometimes, those of us who have been abused become too independent and fall into the trap of believing that we have to do everything on our own.

But there is a different type of independence that we are celebrating today - the separation from our past, our pain, those who harmed us.

We can remove the limits to our freedom and dream and achieve.

Get ready to clap!
