Choose To Be with Choose Recovery Services; Betrayal Trauma Healing

Today Amie and Alana talk about the dangers of comparison in our life and along our healing journey. We do this in so many ways, compare if our partner is or isn't doing the recovery work like the other partners, or why am I still struggling in anger or depression, "I should be over this by now". We compare stories and assess who's is "worse". We compare time and how long it is taking for us to see healing and change. 

So many things! It can be exhausting and we hope todays episode not only help you be aware of your own brains comparing tendencies, but help you release some of those and find more peace along the journey.

Do you find it easy to give someone else permission to rest, self care, do what they need or want but find it extremely hard to give YOURSELF permission? Perhaps you feel it's selfish, or that it's not necessary? Maybe you just don't think you are worth it, or that you have to change something first.

Today Alana and Amie share thoughts and get real about how perfectionism not only is an exhausting way to live, but it can inhibit your healing journey. 

Perfectionism can be something we have had our whole life, or it can come from the onset of betrayal. Perfection around body image and making everything we do mean something about our worth and value is dangerous. 

We hope today we get you starting to think about how you can recognize this in your life and find these tools helpful to start being more aware and start practicing self compassion.

Today Alana and Amie talk about how important hope is in the healing journey, but also how an unwise amount of hope can work against us. Learning to navigate this can greatly impact how we move forward. Often times we are putting all our hope in other people or even God to change things towards the expectations we have and this actually takes us out of our own power to act.

Our hope today in this episode is to help you determine where you might be in your ability to have hope and offer you tools and thoughts that will ultimately give you the hope you need to move forward.

Today we are talking with a one of our awesome certified betrayal trauma coaches, Hali Roderick and Co-Owner of CHOOSE and certified life coach Luke Gordon. Triggers are a huge part of healing and also just a huge part of being human. Learning how to tame those triggers is a skill worth developing. Hali shares her thoughts and tools on how to do just that!

When the spouse who has been betrayed has these triggers, it's often frustrating and confusing to the other partner and can often cause further damage. So learning more a bout why they show up, and how they are often not because you the partner did anything at that moment,  it's just part of the healing journey. Learning to work through these will not only help you get unstuck but help you heal as a couple.

Welcome to Season 2 of the CHOose To Be Podcast with Alana Gordon and Amie Woolsey. What an amazing first season and its thanks to all of you amazing listeners for joining our conversation each week and sharing it with those around you. The number of our listeners have grown more than we had hoped for our first season and hoping to reach even more! The message of hope and healing is so important for us all to not inly feel for ourselves but important to share with others who may not have any. 

In the first episode of Season 2, Alana and Amie discuss the importance of acceptance in out healing journey. Acceptance is not approving, so we talk about the difference and show how the willingness to see things as they really are is where you can access the power to heal and move forward. 

It's important to accept the emotions we are having as well, from sadness to anger to peace, it's about being in the present moment with all of it and seeing things as they really are. When we don't we just layer the negative emotions one on top of another and that's when we feel like life it too much to handle, that's when we feel the suffering.

What about accepting your body as it is? Amie shares her journey to accepting her body and unraveling the trauma from her past and learning to accept her body as it is. Join us in this powerful episode and we hope that you too will begin to practice accepting what is in your life so that you can not only see the reality of it, but choose to change it if and when you want!
