Beyond Surviving with Rachel Grant

Are your head, heart, and body connected?

•

Are you able to notice a thought, but not connect into the sensations in your body? Maybe you’re often overwhelmed with somatic sensations, but can’t seem to identify or track the origin? Do you struggle to connect to or name your feelings?


Yeah – that’s pretty common for survivors of abuse!


The good news is … practices like this one can absolutely help you connect your head, heart, and body so you will feel more attuned to yourself and better able to stay regulated.

  • Self-Compassion Meditation for Releasing Pain in the Body

    09:44|
    Today's practice is all about bringing self-compassion, love, and gratitude to areas in the body that are experienced as unsafe, painful, distressed, or upsetting. When we tap into self-compassion, it can help us to relax, feel more safe, and improve our relationship with our body.A huge bonus of this practice is that it helps kick self-criticism in the butt!#beyondsurviving #selfcompassion #safety #interoception #gratitude #reducedistressinthebody #sexualabusesurvivor #nervoussystemregulation #bodyawareness #mindfulness #meditation #incestsurvivor #healingsexualtrauma #foryou #viral #coachrachelsays #coaching #toolsthatwork #healing #ptsd #stressmanagement #anxiety #integration #orienting #mindbodyspirit #sensations #selfawareness

  • Get Off the Negative Thought Train

    06:55|
    Do you ever get so absorbed in anxious or negative thoughts that you feel like you’re on a runaway train that you can’t get off?In today’s practice, we explore cognitive diffusion, which allows us to observe our thoughts and allow them to flow through and exit the mind so that we don’t fuse to the thought, which is what can lead to rumination, anxiety, dysregulation and suffering.#beyondsurviving #sexualabusesurvivor #nervoussystemregulation #bodyawareness #cognitivefusion #cognitivediffusion #neutralobserver #mindfulness #meditation #incestsurvivor #healingsexualtrauma #foryou #viral #coachrachelsays #coaching #toolsthatwork #healing #ptsd #stressmanagement #anxiety #integration #orienting #mindbodyspirit #sensations #selfawareness
