My job is to somehow make them curious enough or persuade them by hookah crew to get more aware of themselves and where they came from and what they are into and what is already there and just to bring it out.

This is what compels me to compel them and I will do it by whatever means necessary.

Welcome to the Black Girl's Hill podcast where we talk about healing or intimacy disorders and resolve trauma and building a healthy relationship with first ourselves and then others.

Every episode we will talk about advice you can apply today to break unhealthy patterns and grow in your software.

I'm Sheena Lache, love addition coach and trauma specialist. Let's begin.

Hello, hello and welcome to the latest episode of Black Girl's Hill. I hope that you are doing well wherever you are and I'm sending you so much love.

So on today we are going to talk a little bit about emotional anchors.

So emotional anchors are resources that we can tap into within ourselves whenever we are feeling emotional distress or crisis, frustrated, anxious, what have you.

And they can be symbols, they can be people, they can be gestures that we do of connecting to our body, but basically again they are resources that help us stay calm.

And this came up because we were talking in the recovery school or one of my students was talking to the recovery school about wanting to be able to come to a place of calm and confidence when in triggering situations.

So if they are in the place where they are feeling kind of dysregulated or thrown off, what can they use to get grounded in the moment.

And so, you know, we talked about other tools before, but emotional anchors is not something that I've talked about here on the podcast.

And emotional anchors are so beautiful because there's something that you can do literally within your mind's eye.

Without moving without anyone having any sign that this is happening if you are in a situation or a place where that might be dangerous to do or you might feel it may be dangerous to do like with a narcissist or something like that.

But that you can tap into this in your body. So and this episode we are going to be I'm going to be leading you through one type or one example of an emotional anchor.

But first let me tell you a little bit about what are some more examples of that.

Thanks for listening to this week's podcast before we get started. Let's take a small break to say thank you to this week's sponsors.

So you've heard me share about my journey with vitamin D and how a deficiency was causing havoc in my life causing depression that was not helped by therapy, emotional support skills and other resources that I had access to because the source was organic and coming from inside my body.

And it was only by healing my body with vitamin D supplements that I actually saw change.

And I'm not alone with me being part of the 82% of black women in America who struggle with the vitamin D deficiency due to our melanin not being able to synthesize as much vitamin D from the sun.

But black girl vitamins is a proud black own brand that develops vitamins to address the specific needs of black women like iron and vitamin D deficiency.

Each purchase contributes to a scholarship fund that supports black women pursuing health care education plus their vegan friendly and free from harmful additives.
