This bonus episode goes in conjunction with the 2 part episodes on triggers. Part of calming down the trauma in your body is bring awareness to the body and we can do that with body scans. 

I encourage you to implement these at least once a day but ideally 3 times a day. Perhaps setting a timer on your phone to remind you. Implement these around something you are already doing, like picking up the kids from school- driving to work or brushing your teeth. This helps eliminate the temptation to think abut body scans as "one more thing to do". 

Body scans are a way to gather more in formation as to what you body is telling you about your emotions and your thoughts. Its a way to reconnect yourself after being disconnected through trauma triggers. 

This recording is for those of you who have a hard time staying focused through a body scan on your own so I will walk you through one to help you become more aware of your body. 

If you are using this tool often start the scan at 0:53
