Shed Substance Shame

We’re exploring the foundational building blocks for a powerful recovery program that goes beyond just letting go of drugs and alcohol. Understanding the importance of emotional regulation and facing inner struggles like depression and trauma is essential for genuine healing and growth.

Checking our ego at the door and addressing shame from substance abuse are vital steps in the recovery process. We discuss the concept of “knowing thyself to be true,” breaking free from external influences and taking responsibility for our actions.

Through a spiritual curriculum, we create new neural pathways, defying the drinking culture’s pressure. Recovery isn’t solely about abstinence; it’s about growth and functioning. We also discuss the significance of embracing our intuition and learning to live with emotional pain and grief in a transformative way.

Accepting what is and moving forward without attempting to bend reality is essential for a fulfilling life. Let’s empower ourselves to embrace a naturally high state of being and find inner peace. Tune in and discover the keys to a fulfilling recovery journey.

In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. The importance of emotional regulation.
2. Know thyself to be true and take responsibility.
3. Creating new neural pathways.
4. Recovery is not always about abstinence.
5. Learning to live with emotional pain.

Somatic Therapies

In this fast-paced world, it’s important we pause and take the time to reflect on who we are and what truly nourishes our souls. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Holistic health recognizes that each individual has unique requirements and that healing should be tailored accordingly. That’s why somatic therapies, once considered alternative, are now gaining mainstream recognition. They address not only the physical aspects of our well-being but the emotional and energetic dimensions, allowing for a comprehensive healing experience.

Often, we seek solutions by focusing solely on the surface symptoms, but getting to the root cause is paramount. However, it’s important to acknowledge that we can’t always start there. Our innate desire for safety drives us to detect threats, whether real or perceived. Chronic trauma and stress can shape us and inadvertently hinder us from receiving the beautiful gifts that relationships and connection offer.

What if the very armor you’ve built to protect yourself from harm prevents you from embracing love, joy, and deep connections? I invite you to join me as we embark on a journey of vulnerability and discover the power of taking off our armor with co-regulation. Co-regulation becomes the first step towards self-regulation, allowing us to cultivate healthier relationships and create harmonious connections with the world around us.

As we explore these transformative ideas, I invite you to take a moment to reflect on your journey of self-discovery. By investing time and energy into understanding ourselves, we open the door to a life filled with purpose, fulfillment, and abundance.

In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. We need to know who we are and what we really need.
2. The importance of getting to the root of the problem.
3. The detection of a threat or a perceived threat.
4. What happens when your adaptive mechanisms become the very thing that prevents you from receiving all the wonderful things that relationships and connection can offer?
5. How do we get healthy co-regulation?
