Oh the stories we tell ourselves…. they are powerful, so powerful they can shape our entire future if we’re not aware that they are just a STORY! What stories have you told yourself about yourself? I used to tell myself that I was only GOOD if I was a “good girl” that “saved people from […]
Ch. 4 & 5: Trauma Body + Mind-Body Healing Practices
While reading about the trauma body in chapter 4 I had many flashbacks back to my childhood and other times in my life when my body seemed to fail me….or was it?
