I hear from so many women that they know they "should" love their body, but even after several years of positive thinking, it doesn't change the way they feel. That's because for many of us, we hold trauma in our body related to body image. Mindset work is often not enough of change subconscious programming. I discuss how healing body image trauma helps shift at a foundational level.

Many people get stuck because they try to create change from a place of self-awareness and mind-set. This stays on the surface and doesn't address the root cause, which is stored in the body. I talk about why self-awareness is only the beginning and give some insight as to the process of connecting with the body to heal and transform the way you feel and show up in your life.

We can all agree that moving our body is a fundamental key to health. However, did you know that using guilt and shame to be motivated to exercise can be harmful, particularly for those that have dysregulated nervous systems? 

Anna shares her story of how her relationship with movement fueled nervous system dysregulation by cycling between fight/flight or anxious states to freeze or depressive states.  She outlines her journey of how she healed her way back to experiencing joy in movement.

Are you a spiritual healer who hasn’t done your liberation work? Are you a social justice activist who hasn’t done your healing work? Listen to why I believe that healing and liberation work go hand in hand and one without the other actually perpetuates more harm.

Anna shares her definition of "healing" based on her own experience as well as what she's learned as a trauma healing coaching and practitioner of mind/body therapy. She also shares her unique healing journey to bring awareness to the areas where people may feel stuck.  Mindset and intellectual knowledge is often the focus of western therapies, OR, there's the spiritual bypass. Although these approaches are helpful, it may not result in shifting the way one feels and shows up in life, especially when there's trauma involved.  And hint, living in this culture, we all have trauma.
