    I cannot stress enough that just because someone has a license, degree, or letters behind their name, it does not mean they are compassionate, empathetic, or willing to help you in ways that are meaningful to you. Vet your potential sources of healing practitioners & professionals. Avoid re-traumatization by researching people. You deserve people who support you in healthy & meaningful ways & all professionals do not know what's best for you. Take charge of your wellbeing as you are able.

    Mindfulness & meditation are useful tools for healing & self improvement when we have an understanding of their purpose.  If you find yourself struggling with either of these practices & have been traumatized (even if you haven't been traumatized) then this episode is for you.  I talk about my experience & how I have been able to incorporate these tools into my daily practice as well as what you can do to help you use them if you so choose. If you are enjoying the show please give an honest rating in iTunes.  I really want to help people live their lives in ways that are meaningful to them & to heal from what they'd dare not talk about.  Help me do that please.

    Feeling is difficult for trauma survivors. When being traumatized it's dangerous to feel the fullness of our emotions about what's happening. Thus the brain does what it must to survive & keep us alive. Are you numb? Are you afraid to feel? Do you not know how to feel? In this episode I talk about feeling again & what that process looks like for me. Please rate the show if it's beneficial for you.
