Year of Self-Care: Risk

 While taking risks may at first glance seem like an odd way to take care of one's self, in truth, when healing from trauma it is a very important part of the process.

Without taking risks, we remain stuck and limited by trauma beliefs and responses and can never fully experience the life we so deserve or thrive.

What's one small risk you will take this week?

Do you know where your chill out button is?

Ever had someone say to you, “Just take a deep breath” and everything inside of you just wants to backhand them?! 

I certainly have had that experience. 

And yet – this is pretty solid advice because focused diaphragmatic  breathing is one of the most immediate (and most accessible) ways to activate the vagus nerve, which serves as an amazing “chill out” button for our system when pressed.

Tune in to learn how to press this button when your activated to send a potent signal to your brain to relax!

Year of Self-Care: Nature

Whether getting lost in the woods, kayaking on some water, stepping outside and feeling the breeze on your skin, standing barefoot in dirt....spending time in nature feeds the soul and soothes the nervous system. This week, spend some time soaking in the replenishing properties of nature. Hug a tree for me!

Kelly: My Day in Court…as an 8 Year Old

           

In this episode, Kelly Wallace joins us to share about the unique experience she had of testifying against her paternal grandpa, her abuser, in court when she was eight years old. 

In 1985, when she testified she had to be in the same room with him. Closed-captioning was not an option for her. She shares what the process was like as a child and as an adult and about the ramifications that it had on her after he was found not guilty -- despite her strong testimony, a thorough police investigation, and case managers and therapists who said her story was cohesive and strong.

We also discuss what parents can do to respond to a disclosure and to support a child in navigating the court system.

Year of Self-Care: Magnificence

This profound statement, "The world needs you" may be extremely hard to embrace. Trauma makes us believe that the world and the people in it would be better off without us. This is a lie!

By embracing yourself and all that you have to offer, you will invest in the things that help you thrive and that is a radical act of self-care.

Added bonus, your capacity to offer grace to others will also grow and I personally think that contributes to the world healing and transforming on global scales!
