Episode 527: Sarah Peyton. Truth, Trauma & Self Warmth

Sarah Peyton joins me again. (She’s joined me previously.) This time to Talk about her new book, Your Resonant Self Workbook: From Self-sabotage to Self-care.  Why is it that we often don’t allow ourselves to feel warmth, to take a break, to chill out? And when we do, it’s often that we’re so hard on ourselves?  Sarah talks a lot about this in her book and how our actions like these tend to cut us off from our true selves and a richer life. Yes, I’m guilty of that!! Sarah is a Certified Trainer of Nonviolent Communication and teaches people how language changes relationships and the brain. She works with audiences internationally to create a compassionate understanding of the effects of relational trauma on the brain, and writes about and teaches people how words change and heal us.Her special interest is the way that difficult events impact our automatic brain patterning, and how to transform our tendencies toward self-criticism into self-warmth. Her first book is titled, Your Resonant Self: Guided Meditations and Exercises to Engage Your Brain’s Capacity for Healing. Your Resonant Self Workbook: From Self-sabotage to Self-care takes us through the world of relational neuroscience and, using the lens of unconscious contracts, explores how our brains, nervous systems, and bodies react to the brains, nervous systems, and bodies of others.   This workbook provides the tools to turn inward with kindness, warmth, and curiosity and create opportunities for self-healing.  In This EpisodeMara's website Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-trauma-therapist-podcast-with-guy-macpherson-phd-inspiring-interviews-with-thought-leaders-in-the-field-of-trauma/exclusive-contentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.---Thank you for listening!If you want to support the show, I've got three options and every bit helps.$5.00 PayPalhttps://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/NPKS32G8KVSN2$10.00 PayPalhttps://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/495AMDFXQFC3L$15.00 PayPalhttps://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/M7V5RREUKVD8JThank you to our Sponsors: Jane App - use code GUY1MO at https://jane.app (https://jane.app/book_a_demo)Novo Psych - novopsych.com/traumapodcast
