Choosing Connection
Some of you may have learned that you couldn't co-regulate with your caregivers at a very early age: they weren't reliable or consistent, so you had to "survive" in other ways.
This coping pattern can turn into avoidance, self-isolation, shutting down, and even dissociating from our experience...

Fear of Running Out of Energy
It's one thing to listen to the body and honor its need to rest, ESPECIALLY when it's coming from a place of honesty and self-respect.

Not Worrying What Others Think
Part of learning to stop worrying about what other people think of us is to learn what it feels like to trust ourselves, to like ourselves, and to maybe even smile at what other people might be thinking and still follow what our own hearts are asking for.
Easy, right?
Like many things in life...

Research Overwhelm
In our attempts to "heal," we often get trapped in the loop of researching next steps, new treatment protocols, diets, supplements, devices, wondering what the next thing will be that might finally heal us.

Assuming the Best Outcome
We can fall into what are called "limbic loops" in which we are literally stuck in a loop of threat as we imagine worst-case scenarios playing out.
