Do you feel you’re living in groundhog day? The same days keep repeating, the same patterns keep repeating? It’s time to break the cycle and change your story, for GOOD! Tanya and Mary share real world examples of people who thought they reached the end of their story and suicide was the only way out, only to get help and realize that they still had many chapters in their story still to write. One therapist had a patient write down their trauma and read it out loud, again and again (while on medication) to put her into a neutral place with no elevation in heart rate, and no anxiety, to disconnect the feeling associated with that trauma. Then the therapist had the patient rewrite the story and re-read that over and over again without the anxiety medications to create a new memory. Very powerful… This ‘reframing’, reducing fears and trauma and memories can be yours…tune in.. replace these experiences as parents, but we can equip them with coping strategies so that they can thrive, and help them deal with fear and the unknown.
