In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, we dive into how rumination and reactors—those moments when we feel stuck or overwhelmed—impact our mental health and how mindfulness can help us move through them. We also explore the importance of grounding, self-compassion, and the post-care phase.

Key Topics:

Mindfulness Exercise: We close with a guided mindfulness exercise designed to help us anchor in the present moment, validate ourselves, and practice self-compassion, especially when feeling overwhelmed by rumination or reactors.

Through self-awareness and preparation, we can recognize that we’re not only there for ourselves but also there for one another. By staying connected and mindful, we strengthen our ability to navigate challenges together.

And remember, we’re better together, we’re stronger together, and take what resonates and GO BEYOND!

In Love and Healing,
