Reflections from a trauma informed psychiatrist and trauma survivor to give you tools to cope with what is happening in Israel/Gaza war.

Do you feel like you want to push yourself and your body, but you are not able to? Have you ever considered that maybe trauma is holding you back? Quiet often trauma overwhelms the nervous system, and causes us to disconnect from our bodies. And, if we are not connected and present in our bodies, we are not going to be able to push ourselves. How do you get to motivate yourself and your body after trauma? The first step is reconnecting to your body, and doing the 2% rule. Listen to my podcast and try out the 2% rule for a few days, and see how your body reacts. 

Stories give us a compass to travel an unknown road to our desired destination. What stories have shaped your compass? How have you travelled the unknown road? What have you learned in the way?

“All the hearts of the people are my identity so take away my passport.” (Mahmoud Darwish, Palestinian poet). Get to know a little about me so that you have a context for the stories that I tell and we create a place of belonging and community together.

How do you change your perspective? How do you react when you do that? Have you been surprised? Shocked? Relieved? How was the perspective shift changed your journey?

How do your use roadmaps? Did you know there is a roadmap to your mindbody? How do you map out your road map to your life? #TMS #mindbody #holistic
