Feeling like a moldy lemon? Maybe you’re just an onion. If you've escaped the horror of a destructive relationship, but you still feel numb, anxious, depressed, and like a steaming hot mess...it's easy to believe that “being jacked up” is the new normal. And your whole identity. It’s not. In fact, what you're searching for is closer than you can believe: You're still a whole person. Your true self isn’t lost. Your body is actually trying to help you heal. The best of you is still there. But some of these things are covered by layers. Like an onion. Coatings of trauma. Blankets of pain. Wrappings of core wounds. Cocooned lies. Want to know how to find that sweet little onion core again? Sara Richmond and I explore this very question. Listen as we discuss the following revelations and more: - How your story (and information about abuse) can be a distraction from real healing - Why “brokenness” is a crappy description for survivors (and a better word that she's claimed) - Why our bodies often "act" broken (HINT: Whatever you resist, persists) - What embracing her emotional stress through somatic therapy revealed to Sara (it was sad but extremely powerful) - Examples of triggers that she and I peeled back and reset - The word that Natalie couldn’t remember (sadly, it wasn’t “onion”) Listen or download the transcript at flyingfreenow.com/153 FREE: I'll send you the first chapter of my book, Is It Me?
