When You Feel Like Nobody Listens
What happens after the crisis is over, the problem is fixed, but your body still feels like the building is on fire? Most of us have gotten very good at managing uncomfortable emotions without ever actually feeling them. We fix the problem. We answer the emails. We get busy. We push through. R stands for Receive the Emotion. Receiving doesn't mean wallowing in an emotion or acting on it. It means allowing yourself to notice what's actually underneath the adrenaline before you rush past it. For me, underneath the panic of making a mistake at work wasn't ordinary anxiety. It was terror. Once I could receive that emotion instead of immediately managing it, I had something I could begin to understand. This is an important part of Heal the Moment™. We aren't trying to make the emotion disappear. We're allowing it to give us information. What is this feeling? Why is it this big? And where might we have felt it before? In this video, I'll show you what receiving an emotion looks like, why avoiding a feeling doesn't necessarily make it disappear, and one simple question you can use to begin practicing this yourself.

TRACE PROCESS: R - Receive the Emotion | What Are You Actually Feeling? | Psychedelic Integration
Have you ever had a reaction that felt completely out of proportion to what was actually happening? Your heart is pounding. Your hands are shaking. Your entire body is acting like something terrible is happening, even though part of you knows the situation in front of you isn't actually that big. This is where TRACE begins. T stands for Take a Moment. Taking a moment isn't about calming yourself down or talking yourself out of what you're feeling. It's about noticing, in real time, that your body has already decided something is dangerous before your thinking brain has had a chance to determine whether that's actually true. That outsized reaction may be pointing you toward an older experience that still carries an emotional charge. Instead of simply managing the reaction, TRACE gives us a way to follow it backward, understand what it's connected to, and ultimately Heal the Moment™ that may still be influencing how we respond today. In this video, I share the work experience that helped me understand how a relatively small trigger could activate a much older PTSD response, and how learning to notice the size of my reaction became the first step toward understanding where it came from.

Sometimes apologizing all the time is not about being polite. It may be the nervous system remembering the moment you learned everything was your fault. Heal the Moment Monday. #Shorts #HealTheMoment #TraumaHealing #PeoplePleasing #NervousSystemHealing
Why You Apologize for Everything
Getting triggered doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going backward. Sometimes an outsized reaction is information about something from your past that still needs your attention. Psychedelic-assisted therapy helped me heal PTSD, but it didn’t make me untriggerable. It changed the way I understood those reactions and what I did with them. #PTSD #TraumaHealing #PsychedelicTherapy #Triggers
