Season to Heal

What does it mean to mourn? What even is mourning? In this episode we talk about our mental health, our emotions, and loss correlated with attachment. We dive into what it means to be mourning, and Doreen shares her experience in the Philippines of a culture mourning differently. We even talk about Elephants in mourning! Listen and support the Center for Healing Trauma and Attachment. 

This episode we talk about the meaning of being still from a perspective of mental health. How can stillness be beneficial to people. We talk about the fact that life is so busy that sometimes you just need a nap to take care of yourself. There is always so much information overloaded to us at all times. We need to use rest as a part of our self care routine. Sleep can be so rewarding to the brain. 

This episode walks through life with Doreen Hill's three sons. Each at different ages and with different perspectives, we see what mental health means to them. We talk about mental health education in their lives, and the stigma behind it all. This is Season to Grow (up).  Sources:  https://www.nasponline.org/resources-and-publications/resources-and-podcasts/mental-health/school-psychology-and-mental-health/comprehensive-school-based-mental-and-behavioral-health-services-and-school-psychologists

This episode we will be talking about yoga. Yoga in the western world has become seen more as a workout than anything else. Yoga is actually made to yoke the mind and body as one. This episode we visit with Jillian Deganhart as she explores the benefits of yoga in a trauma informed lens. 

This episode dives into trauma, attachment, and counseling. We talk about symptoms of trauma, types of trauma, what attachment is, as well as the styles of attachment. In counseling, there is not one approach for everyone. Individuals are very different, and have experienced different types of trauma. We aim to define childhood trauma, PTSD, complex trauma, generational trauma, and more. We address attachment trauma, and the cycle of attachment.  We also include the types of secure and insecure attachment. How can therapy help?  Doreen also references:  Rachel Yehuda Epigenetics  Rhonda Lettington's book: The Alphabet of the Wounded Cherub  If you or anyone you know is struggling, don't hesitate to seek help.  If you are in Northeastern Colorado go to www.chtainc.org to visit our website and find more information.
