Year of Self-Care: Power

When life is stormy, we have the opportunity to face it with power, which often comes down to remaining connected to our choice and autonomy and "adultness".

For those of us who have experienced childhood trauma though, connecting to choice can be tricky because the abuse experience teaches us that we are at the mercy of others.

Listen in as I share about how we can shift out of a helpless mindset, reclaim our power, and be the conductors of our lives!

What to do when you feel afraid?

There is one thing I know to be absolutely true....we ALL have fears!

Fear is a powerful feeling. It can move us to get out of the way of danger, warn us when there is a threat, activate our spidey-senses.

Unfortunately, fear can also be paralyzing and cause us to miss out on so much.

Let's explore how to be with this feeling and transition out of the energy of fear (particularly when there is no real danger) so we can do the things we want to do and experience the things we want to experience!

Year of Self-Care: Gratitude

Gratitude is amazing! It causes the brain to release feel good chemicals so we can tap into joy. For someone receiving acknowledgment, it does the same thing.

But! How many of you are soooooooo good at acknowledging others, but when you receive praise quickly sluff it off, minimize it, explain it away, or immediately shift the focus back to the other person?

Listen in to learn how I came to understand the power of the full and complete statement, "Thank you."

Kelliane: Living with Dissociative Identity Disorder

          

In this episode, I connect with Kelliane Parker who has been living with Dissociative Identity Disorder for over 30 years, since when it was still called Multiple Personality Disorder. Her healing journey has allowed her this second coming out, first as a queer woman and second as someone who is living openly with DID. I can’t wait for you to hear her story and how she has triumphantly learned to live without shame.

Year of Self-Care: Retreat

Now I'm not talking about the "run for the hills" kind of retreat! Rather, how do we take moments to step out of the hustle and bustle of life to listen...really listen...to our soul's desire?

How can we create moments of retreat that don't require a huge investment of time or money?

We deserve to find the sweet gushy spots in life that have absolutely nothing to do with "go go go, do do do"!

What to do when you're pissed?

When we get angry, the nervous system is cued for fight or flight. 

Sometimes, what is igniting our anger has nothing to do with a present day injury, slight, injustice, or insult. Rather, the brain/body has picked up on something that cues a historical trauma and we are off our head before we know it. 

Expanding our capacity to be with anger as it arises, to pendulate from dysregulation back to regulation, and to get curious about our anger (why?, where is it coming from?, what exactly happened?) is key to our living more empowered, grounded, less reactive lives. 

There is absolutely 100% nothing wrong with feeling angry - it's a powerful and useful feeling - AND! we need to know how to move in and out of this energy with mindfulness. 

I'll walk you step by step through an exercise to help you explore this.

Year of Self-Care: Reflect

The moments of little joy that we can capture in any moment on any day are like vitamins for those of us on a journey heading trauma. They fortify us against hopelessness. We often get overwhelmed by the big goals, so we need to actively seek out the joy that lives "in small places". Take some time to slow down, breathe, and notice the highlights of the day. I promise it will bolster you as you tackle the big stuff!
