Lessons from Paradise: The Sometimes Painful Epiphanies of Downtime

Welcome to Episode 13!Today is a day of storytelling. I was on holiday last week in the Bahamas...a very sacred place of annual rest, relaxation, and ... um, yes - often painful realizations after time spent without distraction and intentional introspection. When I'm alone with my brain, very wild things happen apparently, and today I'm going to tell you a couple stories about what I've learned and how it's helped me in my healing and recovery journey, despite how painful and filled with grief it was and still sometimes is. This episode is a bit stream of consciousness, so I hope it resonates and makes sense (lol!). It felt good and cathartic to share with you some of these things that hit home for me when I least expected. And I think these things are important for us to share, so we know we aren't alone when putting the puzzle of...well ourselves...together. if you are in need of a community of people who can help you feel more accepted, less alone, and more connected to people who understand, please check out my online community for weekly support, monthly classes and events at https://the-ocd-support-community.co.mnIf this podcast inspires, supports, and gives you hope and you'd like to support us monthly or sponsor us, please visit our patreon page and become a member.
