This week's DBT Skill is Wise Mind, learn more here.

Krista and I dive into the following topics...

+ how unprocessed grief, trauma, and emotions can further depression, anxiety, and unalignment in life

+ the cognitive shift of believing that we are our emotions versus emotions are temporary feelings that are trying to tell us something that comes with age

+ how trauma work allowed Krista to increase self-compassion, develop her identity, love her inner child, improve relationships dynamics, and navigate the world through a kind and gentle lense

+ the importance of feeling emotions and connecting with others from the perspective of an empath (Krista) and being emotionally detached (Sadie)

+ exploring sobriety and substance use as a college student and why Krista chose not to drink during her healing journey

+ how achieving your goal weight doesn't equal happiness and how Krista's now practicing body acceptance

+ Krista's favorite practices that have helped her maintain her growth and continue to evolve

Mentioned in this week's episode...

+ onsite in Nashville, TN

+ Dr. Joe Dispenza's meditations
