  • Ep2- Embracing Uncomfortable feelings

    In this episode, I venture into the Wild West of uncomfortable feelings.

    I dare to share what it takes to come ‘home’ to the body no matter how uncomfortable it feels, and how to ride the waves of anxiety and panic to find a new relationship to allowing the storms of the mind and body to pass, without resistance or trying to get rid of them.

    I recount times of great anxiety- filled moments in my recovery, and share what I did to form a new healthy relationship to the automatic survival system of my mind and body.
