Emerging From PTSD; what does it feel like?
Today's episode is a reading accompanied by music created by Alexis Scarbro, the Dalai Momma.
It promises to startle, it may be frightening for sensitive listeners, so please, think about your current conditions, first. Make sure you're cozy and feeling safe, most of all. Take a break if you need to.
This music is bound to show you your Vagas Nerve. Feel it. Allow it. Don't resist, experience my experience. Understand what PTSD feels like, if you're willing.

Finding Love Within the Self, and Using that Love to Heal the Self
When I was in therapy for the first few visits, my therapist slammed me with the simple remedy, "You need to just love yourself, more."
I sat there winded. I don't know how. I've not been shown properly, where does one start?
The people I'd met in the world who loved themselves were naught. I'd never met anyone who loved themselves.
I had to find out how to begin.
This is my story.

Racism or Colorism? Value or devalue? Victims or victors? Let's talk.
This episode is not only about Racism these days, about what makes us believe there even is any other race than the human race --for real, we are colored, from palest white to darkest black and every shade in between... it's about value of humanity, our self value, the values we place on our children, our loved ones...
Also, it's about victimhood, on how today's American society is flailing in an obvious victim mindset.
And, it's about safety; of course the Vagas Nerve! How Justin Sunseri's Building Anchors program is helping me to flex my vagal system and pull on the brakes during triggers.

Season 2, Episode 2 The Polyvagal Ladder and rising up it, reaching Safe and Social
It's been a tough week for me. This week I, Alexis, share experience using the Building Anchors program by Justin Sunseri LMFT, available at Justin's website. I had to find out how to pull out of a Shutdown response due to family trauma and I share all the things I did to not get out of it, and to get out of it. These are amazing bodies we're given, to not use them to their fullest potential seems like squander. Let's learn how to tweak these bodies, open these minds and recognize the control panel in our organism. These bodies are made for living in, not enduring in. These bodies are made to explore, to live, to delve into discoveries and to enjoy all the sensations there are. Let's learn how to discover, together. I share all I gather in therapy and beyond. Here's how I'm snapping out of it. Support me at Patreon or directly on the Anchor app, just click "Support"

Dealing With Difficulties in Difficult Times
Oh boy, a long one today about endurance, the survival response, reacting to triggers, and the Vagas Nerve and how it's your guide to survival --you are totally normal when you trigger, you are totally normal when you defend your honor --but you can learn to ignore offensive people effectively and you don't have to give in to your emotions and trigger at all, but rather experience and feel through.

Sleep.
Do you get enough sleep? Are you forfeiting your joy for the sake of others (boss, teachers at your children's school, neighbors, parents, spouse, etc)? Do you miss out on you child's life because the pressure of outside is demanding you put them on hold? Are you feeling like you child(ren) are 2nd skimmings & you're expected to please others? Do you even have enough time to actually parent your child in the day?
If you answered yes to any or all of these, you feel like me, and this episode is for you.

Are you aware of your child(ren)'s feeling, deep down?

Hurt People Hurt People
This episode is a short one on hurt.
Everyone is effected by it. Everyone is capable of it. Everyone has done it.
Now's the time to reflect on our behaviors, recognize our loops, break the chains that bind our children --the same ones we are bound in-- and stop the hurt!
Spread the love.
Namaste.

The Practice
Dalai Momma has been doing her research now for 6 weeks and deemed the immersion the "Practice" in order to make it more medical or scientific. The Practice is difficult work, done at home, with the people you're most comfortable with --so it's going to be hard!!
