In this episode of the Healing podcast, we are joined by Chelsea Lee Woudstra, a body worker and speaker with years of experience helping people to heal their emotional pain. Chelsea shares her personal story and journey with us, telling how she discovered her passion for helping others work through trauma. She discusses the importance of self-care, especially during times of emotional distress. She also explains how simple self-reflexive techniques can help to reduce the intensity of emotions and provide comfort in moments of darkness or despair.  Chelsea's passion is evident in her words as she shares important principles that she believes should be followed when working through difficult emotions: be gentle to yourself, practice radical self-acceptance, and seek out support from trusted loved ones. She also stresses the importance of listening to your body - being mindful about what it needs in order to heal. Chelsea’s advice underscores the idea that healing is an ongoing process - one that requires patience and compassion towards oneself. And ultimately, one that leads to growth and transformation.  Finally, she offers guidance on how to recognize when you are holding onto old pain or trauma, and encourages listeners not to shy away from seeking help if they need it.
