Janice and her guest Trang Pham get on the mic for a special episode about integrating the self-development and therapy work into the messiness of real life and relationships—when it's the hardest to access our tools, practices, and grounding! They discuss five big aspects of this integration work: being aware that we've just gotten activated, self-regulating, understanding which wounded parts of us have been triggered and caring for them while taking responsibility for how our protective responses might create disconnection or harm in our relationships, accessing compassion, and setting boundaries.

In this eposide, Janice explains why is the body so important in healing trauma. She also shares some body-based (somatic) practices that can help us build a foundation for addressing trauma and coming back to our "whole selves" by:expanding our capacity to be aware of and stay with our body's internal physical sensations and emotions – however uncomfortable; reducing hypervigilance; staying curious and open to our environment and the people around us; andnoticing more easily when we move out of alignment with our grounded, authentic selves.Over time, we can build the capacity to handle more of the emotional charge when diving deeper into healing trauma, walk away from harmful situations earlier, be more present in the moment, and feel more alive in our bodies.Rate & review the podcast on:Apple PodcastsPodchasersSpotifywww.TheSoulsWorkPodcast.comConnect with me:Instagram: @janicehoimages | @janicehocounsellingFacebook: @thesoulsworkpodcastEmail: thesoulsworkpodcast@gmail.comListen to all The Soul's Work Podcast episodes: www.thesoulsworkpodcast.comEarlier episodes in the Healing Trauma series:Pt 1: What is Trauma + How My Journey Started (S2, EP6)Pt 2: What Causes Trauma + Why Trauma Isn’t Just About Negative Thoughts (S2, EP7)Pt 3: Getting Triggered (Why Can’t We Just Leave the Past in the Past?)

In this episode, Janice and her guest Erica Wiederlight (sexual empowerment and dating coach) discuss practices for exploring our own pleasure (it's probably not what you think), how to be more in tune with our bodies and less in our heads, and being with the confronting bits that often come up in our exploration of pleasure.
