Transform your Mind

Have you ever started your healing journey only to wonder why you suddenly feel worse?

Maybe you finally started therapy, began setting healthy boundaries, stopped people-pleasing, or decided to confront childhood trauma. You expected peace, clarity, and emotional freedom. Instead, you find yourself crying more, remembering painful experiences, or questioning who you are.

You might even ask yourself, Why do I feel worse now that I'm finally doing the work?

Here's what I want you to understand: Feeling uncomfortable during emotional healing doesn't automatically mean you're going backward. Sometimes, becoming more aware of emotions you've avoided can make the early stages of healing feel harder.

Healing from trauma is not always a straight line toward happiness. It can involve grief, uncertainty, emotional vulnerability, and the difficult process of letting go of survival patterns that once protected you.

In this episode of 5 Minute Fridays with Coach Myrna on the Transform Your Mind podcast, we're exploring why healing sometimes feels harder before it gets better, how trauma can shape your identity, and why the uncomfortable middle of your healing journey deserves compassion rather than judgment.

Healing isn't a linear path but rather an excavation of buried pain and emotions. Using tangible examples, like a client who initially felt unhappier during healing, Myrna underscores the misconception that healing should feel good immediately. True healing involves reconnecting with suppressed emotions and the grieving of past identities formed out of survival mechanisms. Coach Myrna calls on listeners to be patient, faithful, and community-minded, reminding them that support systems are paramount in navigating the highs and lows of this journey. The episode encourages faith in the healing process, urging listeners to perceive discomfort as a sign of progress toward true emotional freedom.

Key Takeaways:

• Healing often feels harder before it feels better; it involves releasing suppressed emotions and pain.
• Emotions such as crying are indicators of progress and should not be seen as regression.
• Safety in one's environment and relationships allow the nervous system to release trauma.
• Healing requires grieving past identities formed as defense mechanisms.
• Community and support are critical elements in successful emotional healing.

Final Thoughts

Healing doesn't mean forgetting what happened to you. It means discovering that you can carry your experiences while still creating a meaningful future.

Have you ever wondered why your body holds on to pain, even when you can't identify what's causing it? What if the tension in your shoulders, the tightness in your chest, or the discomfort in your back is connected to more than just your physical health?

Could unresolved stress, emotional trauma, and even the way you breathe be contributing to how your body feels?

In this fascinating episode of Transform Your Mind, host Myrna Young sits down with Deanna Hansen, founder of Block Therapy, to explore the connection between fascia, emotional stress, breathing, and physical well-being.

Deanna's journey began at age 30 when a personal health crisis and an anxiety attack prompted her to search for a deeper understanding of the human body. Her discoveries eventually led her to develop Block Therapy, a bodywork approach focused on fascia—the connective tissue network that supports and surrounds structures throughout the body.

But could the way we hold ourselves physically also reflect the emotional burdens we've carried for years?

Deanna shares her perspective on how chronic stress, unresolved trauma, restricted breathing, and poor posture may contribute to physical tension and discomfort. She explains why diaphragmatic breathing is central to her approach and how improving body awareness and alignment may support relaxation, mobility, and overall wellness.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The hidden connection between stress and physical pain: How emotional experiences may influence muscle tension, breathing patterns, and the way your body responds to everyday life.
• Why fascia matters: What this connective tissue network does and how Deanna believes it contributes to movement, posture, and physical well-being.
• The power of diaphragmatic breathing: How conscious breathing may help calm the nervous system and reduce physical tension.
• A different approach to releasing tension: How Block Therapy combines sustained pressure, mindful breathing, and body awareness, including simple techniques that can be explored with a rolled towel.

Whether you're navigating chronic stress, working through emotional challenges, or simply looking for ways to reconnect with your body, this conversation offers a thought-provoking perspective on the relationship between physical and emotional wellness.

Because sometimes, transforming your mind also means paying attention to what your body is trying to tell you.

Could being a “good patient” actually put your health at risk? In this podcast episode we are talking about breast cancer self-advocacy.

For generations, women have been conditioned to be agreeable, trust authority, and avoid asking too many questions. But when you're facing a breast cancer diagnosis, staying silent could mean missing important information about your breast cancer treatment options.

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we're moving beyond pink ribbons and early detection to explore a potentially life-changing conversation: Why every woman must learn to self-advocate for herself in healthcare.

Have you ever felt like everything in your life was going backward? Your finances are struggling, a relationship has ended, or an opportunity you counted on has disappeared.

What if your current setback isn't the end of your story, but simply a low-tide season?

In this inspiring 5 min Friday solo episode of Transform Your Mind, life coach Myrna Young shares a powerful lesson inspired by her walks along Florida's beaches and a recent Alaskan cruise: The ocean never worries when the tide goes out because the tide is part of a natural cycle.

Just as the gravitational forces of the moon and sun influence the ocean's tides, our lives experience seasons of abundance, uncertainty, loss, and renewal.

Through personal reflections, spiritual wisdom, and practical mindset strategies, Myrna explores how to stop creating additional suffering through fear and negative self-talk, discover the hidden lessons in difficult seasons, and respond to uncertainty with greater confidence.

In This Episode, You'll Discover

• Why life has seasons of ebb and flow: Understanding the ocean's natural rhythms and what they teach us about accepting change.
• What your low-tide season reveals: How financial struggles, relationship challenges, and rejection can expose limiting beliefs, emotional wounds, and opportunities for growth.
• How fear creates secondary suffering: Why the stories we tell ourselves about setbacks can be more emotionally exhausting than the setbacks themselves.
• How to manage financial uncertainty: Why trusting the process still requires budgeting, working, saving, and making responsible decisions.
• The power of faith and emotional resilience: How to move forward without allowing temporary circumstances to define your future.

Final Thoughts

There will be seasons when your finances feel uncertain, relationships change, opportunities disappear, and the garden you've planted seems bare.

But don't confuse what you cannot see with what does not exist.

A difficult season doesn't have to become your permanent identity.

The tide went out. The ocean didn't disappear.

If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who may be navigating a low-tide season of their own.

And remember: Keep transforming your mind so you can transform your life.

Have you ever felt so exhausted that even getting out of bed feels like climbing a mountain? You've visited doctors, undergone countless tests, and been told that everything looks normal. But you know something is wrong.

What if part of the answer lies in understanding how your brain and nervous system respond to prolonged stress and illness?

My guest today is Miguel Bautista, a former athlete whose life was turned upside down by debilitating chronic fatigue. After struggling to find answers through conventional medical approaches, Miguel began exploring nervous system regulation and neuroplasticity as part of his recovery journey.

Explore how childhood traumas silently shape adulthood as life coach Myrna Young delves into four core traumas: abandonment, rejection, betrayal, and neglect. Discover how these early wounds influence love, trust, and relationships. With insights from Matthew Perry's life, Myrna emphasizes healing through awareness, compassion, and reparenting. Uncover patterns and guide yourself towards thriving with love and self-acceptance. Join Myrna in "Transform Your Mind to Transform Your Life" and learn the power of healing to reclaim your true self.

In this impactful episode of "Transform Your Mind to Transform Your Life," life coach Myrna Young delves into an eye-opening examination of childhood traumas and their lasting imprint on adulthood. Myrna opens the dialogue by challenging listeners to reflect on their emotional reactions and consider how these might stem from unresolved childhood experiences. She explains that traumas are not mere past events but rather significant impacts that continue to echo within our nervous systems and shape our adult lives.

The episode introduces four core types of childhood trauma—abandonment, rejection, betrayal, and neglect—each dissected to reveal its origins and manifestations in adulthood. Using real-world examples like the poignant life story of Matthew Perry, Myrna illustrates how unaddressed childhood traumas can silently govern our adult choices, impairing our ability to trust, love, and relate to others. Throughout the episode, listeners are invited to explore their own pasts, identify their personal traumas, and are guided on a path of self-healing and growth. Myrna emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, compassion, and reparenting as pivotal steps toward transforming one's life.

Key Takeaways:

• Childhood traumas such as abandonment, rejection, betrayal, and neglect profoundly influence adult behavior and perceptions.
• Abandonment trauma often leads to heightened fear of rejection and attachment anxieties, as exemplified by Matthew Perry’s experiences.
• Rejection trauma instills a persistent belief of unworthiness, fostering people-pleasing behaviors and perfectionism.
• The healing process involves awareness, self-compassion, reparenting, and the active choice to alter ingrained patterns.
• Understanding and addressing these wounds allow individuals to move from surviving to thriving, uncovering the strength within to live authentically.
