Today I'm excited to teach you a new skill for establishing safety after trauma. I'm excited about this episode today....I think I say that about every episode!? Haha

This new skill is from the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy modality which is incredibly helpful for managing difficult thoughts, feelings and emotions. It's called "Dropping Anchor" and follows a three-step process. So in this episode, I teach you:

+ A new skill for establishing safety within the body.
+ How to acknowledge difficult emotions, feelings and sensations.
+ How to ground yourself and build up emotional tolerance in difficult experiences.

Hey friends!! Welcome back to another episode of season two of the Heart of the Home podcast. I’m excited to bring you this episode today because I feel like it will really offer some of you hope that healing is not only possible, but that many of you have been attempting to heal from the trauma you’ve experienced and have felt like you’re “missing” something or that you keep doing it wrong or that something must be wrong with you because you’re doing “all the right things” but healing seems to be too far away or impossible. Well, I’m here to share with you today that you’re not “missing” something and there’s definitely nothing wrong with you. Sometimes we just need a different perspective and understanding on what it means to heal from trauma. So I’m going to give you that today.

In this episode, we cover:
+ 6 ways to heal from trauma in this new season.
+ How you can join the most healing community on the internet.
+ A sum of healing in 2024.

Join The Pocket Therapist for the next round in February, 2024
