147 It's Time To Exhale

from Another Beautiful Life Hosted by Tricia Zody

I know, you can’t actually hold your breath for six years. But metaphorically, apparently you can and not even know it. That is exactly my felt experience these past 6 to 8 weeks. And I didn’t realize that I’d been holding my breath until I exhaled. What did “holding my breath” actually look like? Disassociation - an involuntary survival instinct that helps protect us from mental and physical pain. The brain and body cannot handle processing all that needs to be processed when you’ve experienced trauma. So, it waits until it’s safe enough to do so. And it “exhales.” And when it decides to exhale, the processing begins. But you may not even be consciously aware of what’s going on. The subconscious is driving all of it. This episode focuses on the continuation of healing after trauma. Are you wondering how Life Coaching works? Would you like a free, 30-minute session?
