Thru the Wringer with Mike and Jo

18/12/2023

There is a deeper significance to our behaviors often times. It is the reliving of painful pasts, because those areas have not been brought to the forefront and received healing.
We often live in this unconsciously, being reactionary, and then are baffled by our own behavior and the results it brings in our relationships.
The solution? Moving out of emotional ISOLATION. Whoa!
Bringing what your are experiencing, talking about your feelings with a non-judgmental, safe person.
I hope that everyone reading this has at least one person with whom he/she feels safe.
❤️

One of my favorite podcasts -Trauma Informed - linked below.
In this episode we discuss trauma informed care . . . what it is and how to care for yourself and others that have experienced trauma. We talk about boundaries and families. It is educational and encouraging!

❤️ ❤️ 🖤 New Podcast , Ask For Help - Don't Go It Alone, out now!
We are often compulsively self-reliant and don't ask for help. This puts us in situations in which we deny our needs and potentially hit our bottom.
We need to learn to ask for and receive help. Listen in!

Don't Hold Your Breath - new blog post linked below.
Learning how to breathe is monumental in dealing with suffering and pain. It is a massive start in meditation, getting in touch with ourselves, and reaching our inner child.
Conscious breathing, present breathing, and mindful breathing take us back to our emotions and body, creating a genuine friendship with our body. It influences our mind and our perception. Transformation can happen.
