When I was in therapy for the first few visits, my therapist slammed me with the simple remedy, "You need to just love yourself, more."   I sat there winded.  I don't know how.  I've not been shown properly, where does one start? The people I'd met in the world who loved themselves were naught.  I'd never met anyone who loved themselves. I had to find out how to begin. This is my story.

This episode is not only about Racism these days, about what makes us believe there even is any other race than the human race --for real, we are colored, from palest white to darkest black and every shade in between... it's about value of humanity, our self value, the values we place on our children, our loved ones... Also, it's about victimhood, on how today's American society is flailing in an obvious victim mindset. And, it's about safety; of course the Vagas Nerve!  How Justin Sunseri's Building Anchors program is helping me to flex my vagal system and pull on the brakes during triggers.   Closing Song by Van Grounds who can be found on YouTube; he's a talented musician who began playing the piano at the ripe age of 8 months old.

It's been a tough week for me.  This week I, Alexis, share experience using the Building Anchors program by Justin Sunseri LMFT, available at Justin's website.  I had to find out how to pull out of a Shutdown response due to family trauma and I share all the things I did to not get out of it, and to get out of it.  These are amazing bodies we're given, to not use them to their fullest potential seems like squander.  Let's learn how to tweak these bodies, open these minds and recognize the control panel in our organism. These bodies are made for living in, not enduring in.  These bodies are made to explore, to live, to delve into discoveries and to enjoy all the sensations there are.  Let's learn how to discover, together.  I share all I gather in therapy and beyond.  Here's how I'm snapping out of it. <3 Support me at Patreon or directly on the Anchor app, just click "Support" Website: the-dalai.momma.com Follow my artwork on Instagram Purchase art on Etsy
