Insights
Everybody has trauma and your body remembers it, from small things that happened with your peers to large life events
Psychodrama- a role play experience that allows you to play your inner child and members of your family. Allows you to experience situations from multiple viewpoints
Very safe environment
Every human wants to be seen and heard for who they are
Validating experience
Human beings not human doings
Trust the process
It may suck but you will get there and get through it
Recharging to find your peace
The spider web
A parallel to life
While making the web, the spider falls and gets back up making beautiful imperfections within the web. These lines strengthen the structure.
The web is like life. Our story is written a little bit (the big lines of the web). You’re born into what you’re born into
Throughout life you fall and get back up. It’s not perfect. You get back up and keep going. These make all the beautiful intricacies of life (like the intricacies within the web)
A reminder that we make beauty out of our life events

Listening to our bodies
Looking healthy isn’t the same as being healthy on the inside
Mindset, mindfulness, movements
Consider your morning routine and how it makes you feel
Consider helpful day starters beyond your cell phone: meditation, yoga flow, inspirational reading
Find Your Happy Daily Mantras by Shannon Kaiser, link below
The compliments on your body don’t equal health.
Are you going to suffer internally to have a “good” body?
Where do you get your validation: internally or externally?
Our bodies aren’t meant to stay stagnant. They change over the course of our lives.
Focus should be on respecting our bodies
You might not always love what you see. The inner strength keeps you happy.
I'm important no matter what I am going through
Not comparing ourselves to others. Our paths are all different. We are only responsible for ourselves
Creating boundaries.
‘No’ is a complete sentence. You don’t have to explain and give reasons all the time.
You setting boundaries gives others permission to make some as well.
Start small with someone you are comfortable with.
When setting a boundary, explain what you would like instead. You’re not cutting her off. You’re offering an option that meets your needs
Dr. Brene Brown, episode on We Can Do Hard Things; link below
How people respond to your boundaries is not your responsibility
Developing throughout our whole lifetime, not just our childhoods
We are human beings that grow and change. Growth is essential; The only constant is change
