The Hidden Healing of Emotions -The Heroine's Journey

Send us a Text Message.

Learning to retrain your nervous system take a lot of tools. Join me this week as I share how journaling has helped me over the years with my stress and anxiety. I also share how this week I used journaling to help me see my mind which allowed me to see what was really stressing me out.
I also share a journal entry from the archives dating back to 2009. This entry helped me see and celebrate my growth.

This podcast is not meant to take the place of therapy, to diagnose or treat anyone. I have had therapy as recently as 2021 and found it very helpful. I am not a doctor. My only degree is in computers. I am simply sharing tools I have used to help myself grow to become an emotionally healthy person and sharing stories about my journey. Please seek medical help, as I did, if you are unable to cope with life and all that it brings.

Is Mindfulness The Same As Meditation

Send us a Text Message.

Mindfulness and Meditation are two very hot topics in todays self-help and emotional healing cultures. What is the difference? How do they relate?
In this episode of The Hidden Healing Podcast, I will share what I have found to be the answer to these questions. Although, I am relatively new to meditation, with only a couple of years under my belt, I will share what I know about Mindfulness Meditation.
I will also answer these question:
What if I can't meditate?
What if I can't do breathing meditation?
How does Mindful Meditation differ for women with Complex-PTSD?
What if I do it and mediation doesn't work for me?
When I started mediation was so hard. I believed I just couldn't do it. I feel like I broke the code and am very excited to share what I learned so you too, can have this tool of Mindfulness Meditation for your emotional healing process and tool bag.
I have no affiliation with these apps but have found this to be a nice place to start with mindfulness meditation. Please use your own judgement with the meditation on these apps.

Why Boundaries are Important

Send us a Text Message.

4 steps to setting boundaries. I feel like this life skill is something that very few people saw modeled in a healthy way leaving most of us to figure it out as we walked through life. The problem is that anyone with adverse childhood experiences now needs to learn healthy personal boundaries and why they are important.
It may be interesting to learn that boundaries are actually for the person who is setting the boundaries and not for those being asked to respect the boundary. That raises the question then, why do boundaries hurt other people's feelings? And how can we stop being hurt when we come across someone else's boundaries?
