Episode 30: Codependent to Co-Independent: Love Yourself Well
Informazioni su questo podcast
A thoughtful journey exploring our pain and looking for ways to heal. It's not just the trauma experiences that hurt us but the negative messages they leave, that we are not good enough, we don't do enough and/or we don't feels safe. Healing occurs when we start to realize, "we are good enough", "we do enough", and "it's ok to feel safe when we are safe".
In this series of podcasts, I'll use kindness, compassion and curiosity to explore our pain and suggest various ways to bring healing to yourself and those around you.
