from Move Your Mind with Nick Bracks

What if the hardest part of your trauma isn’t what actually happened… it’s noticing the same patterns showing up in you now?In this episode, I speak with Tenille Bentley about how childhood trauma and growing up around domestic violence can shape your adult relationships and what it takes to break that cycle. We talk about moving from blame to responsibility, setting real boundaries, and learning to stop taking on other people’s emotions as your own.Tenille also shares the emotional language and simple tools she uses in her Emotional Literacy & Mindfulness Academy to help children learn how to respond instead of react.If you’re scared of repeating the same unhealthy dynamics, this conversation will give you a clear way of understanding your patterns and where to start changing them.Tenille Bentley is a globally recognized, multi-award-winning entrepreneur and sound therapy specialist, and the founder of ELMA Education.Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction(00:48) Meet Tenille Bentley(01:26) Tenille's Background & Journey(05:45) Founding Alma Education(09:02) The Impact of Alma Education(13:53) Emotional Intelligence & Modern Challenges(15:42) Forgiveness & Personal Growth(28:43) The Future of Human Connection(32:09) Understanding Parental Influence(33:01) Generational Trauma and Healing(34:17) Taking Responsibility for Your Life(35:14) The Victim Mentality(36:21) Emotional Intelligence & Self-Awareness(38:48) Navigating Relationships & Patterns(47:22) Balancing Ambition & Alignment(53:27) Final Thoughts & ReflectionsGet the FREE Move Your Mind Masterclass here: go.nickbracks.com/moveyourmindAccess FREE Move Your Mind training here:https://go.moveyourmind.io/trainingConnect with Nick:Instagram: https://instagram.com/nickbracksWebsite: http://nickbracks.comEmail: [email protected] with Tenille:Website: https://www.tenillebentley.com/ Hosted on Acast.
