Embracing the Shadows: Finding My Voice in the Silence
June has arrived bringing with it a fresh wave of introspection and growth (not always easy but the way I like it!). A number of people have recommended Carolyn Elliott’s book ‘Existential Kink’ to me, and this week I started to listen to it. Of course, as with all things, I felt called to finally listen to it at what seems like the perfect time. Through occurrences this week, but also coming in as a message slowly over the last five years or so, I've come to a profound realisation. I had of course heard of ‘shadow work’ but it wasn’t until listening to Carolyn speaking deeper on the topic that I have really understood it.
Emotional Resilience - Therapies
In previous posts, I have covered ways to help yourself increase emotional resilience and given insight into the mind and body connection and exactly why the two go hand in hand. This week, I will cover various therapies that can help cope with trauma, emotional stress, grief, anger issues, and so much more, especially in those who need extra support navigating their emotions. There is no shame in needing to reach out for help. In fact we all need it unless we were taught appropriately how to cope, communicate and face our emotions.
