Status Updates From Peace from Anxiety: Get Gro...

Relationship are important, they help us heal, connect, be vulnerable, find joy or peace, if we let them. We may come into this world alone, but that doesn’t mean we have to live the duration of it in loneliness and fear of being disappointed, the fear of pain only furthers, when you avoid the things you long for, but won’t allow yourself to have due deep rooted feeling, perspective and repeated habits.

Discussed how generational trauma can affect us as infants just as much as kids. Teaches our minds and nerves that ppl are unreliable, unsafe, and unresponsive, in which we silently and possibly unknowingly carry into adulthood when it comes to relationships. Seeking out those with similar backgrounds bc it’s familiar. We have to learn and choose to be healthier by communicating and setting boundaries!

There different levels of trauma such as small constant feeling or major turning point events or unexpected events. Trauma is actually your reaction towards witnessing or going through something.

Learning how trauma and unhealthy coping mechanisms can be passed down through generations. Which can also help label a culture based on things ppl are normalized to seeing, hearing, or experiencing.

Still in the beginning of the book, but so far informative.

Really loving this book so far. I really struggle with my anxiety and letting it rule my life and so taking control and building resilience is what I’m working towards! This book gives real life examples and actual instruction in applying practices to real life and I’m taking my time with each one.

So far, a very useful book for my beginner yoga therapy students/clients.
