  • Before You Do: A Trauma-Informed Morning

    Season 8 of the Finding Peace Podcast offers practical, trauma-informed tools to help you bring more peace, joy, and connection into everyday life. Hosted by bestselling author and psychotherapist Troy L. Love, this episode reframes morning routines away from pressure and toward safety.

    You’ll learn three simple practices — orientation (grounding into the present), gentle movement, and one regulating act before productivity — designed to help a trauma-shaped nervous system feel supported rather than evaluated.

    The episode includes short, actionable prompts like asking three gentle check-in questions and the practice “before I do, I receive” (a single breath, a slow sip of water, sunlight on your face) to help you begin the day with compassion and presence.

    Ultimately, this episode invites you to start the day as a person first and to treat mornings as moments of repair, choice, and kindness toward yourself.

  • Name It to Tame It

    Season 8 of the Finding Peace Podcast offers practical, trauma-informed tools for everyday life. In this episode Troy L. Love explores how naming sensations and experiences—descriptive before interpretive—helps calm the nervous system and prevent shame-driven reactions.

    Try the simple practice: notice "Something's happening in me," name bodily sensations and impulses, breathe, and ask what wound or need is being stirred. Safety and clarity grow from noticing, not fixing. You are worthy of love and belonging.
