Are you on your healing journey and just feel completely exhausted? You just don't have the energy or desire to do much of anything. When we are healing, we can get to this very poignant part of healing that Courtney calls, "Restful Healing" and it can be the most challenging place to be when you don't understand it. As a trained trauma counselor, Courtney has seen this in all of her clients and in her own personal journey.  In this very episode, J and Courtney discuss this concept in depth. If there's ever an episode that you will want to listen to, it is THIS one! It's real, raw, and relatable and will leave you feeling empowered.

When we have trauma, we may find that we become highly reactive. This is why you just JUMP to the first emotion and ACT on it without having time to stop and think and DECIDE what your decision will be. In this episode, J and Courtney discuss reactivity on a very personal level. If you have trauma and are on your healing journey, this is going to be an upside that you'll want to save and listen to frequently. As we heal, our brains look at situations differently and we understand and integrate concepts much deeper.
