In this episode, host Bree Johnson shares a traumatic experience she witnessed and the impact it had on her. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing that there are situations where we have no control over the outcome and the need to release any feelings of guilt or shame.

 

Bree shares three key lessons from this horrible accident:

1. Life can change in an instant

2. You NEVER know what someone is going through

3. The wellbeing practices you cultivate now will save you in times of real suffering, trauma, and dysregulation

 

The power of co-regulation in processing difficult experiences is one of the most under-utilized and talked about processing tool, and it's been key to feel less alone in having witnessed the horrible accident.
