Wildfires. Pandemic. Economic shutdown. US Election. Murder hornets. Cancel culture. It's no secret that 2020 is likely the biggest dumpster fire any of us has ever known. Could we have known about any of it before it happened? What's in store for 2021? Is it going to get worse or better? And, what in the heck does all of this have to do with trauma-healing?? This is part 2 of my interview with astrologer Tammy Antoinette. In this second part, we're transitioning from talking about trauma-healing and astrology on a personal level to what the stars and planets are showing for the collective. The Universe wants us to be well. In the coming year, we have massive opportunities for peace, truth, unity, and fearlessness.  Subscribe!

In 5500 BC, Hermes Trismegistus, the first documented ancient astrologer said, "Know thyself". Plato and Socrates also emphasized this phrase. Through astrology, we can know ourselves better.  The challenges, traumas, blessings, and lessons that are in store for you in this lifetime may very well be written in the stars! Astrological readings with a knowledgable astrologer can provide amazing insights into childhood traumas and life lessons, including life themes and even traumas that the conscious mind has blocked out.  In the stars, we can see current events of traumatic energies or situations or upcoming challenges. We can even ask why the soul may have chosen to experience the adversities, traumas, or lessons of this lifetime. For example, you wouldn't have your specific life mission if you did not experience the challenges that you have. Because of those experiences, you are able to better assist others to transcend their own traumas. In this episode, we'll answer the questions: What blessings can we reap as a result of the traumas we've experienced? How can looking at our astrological charts help us transmute trauma? What is in store for our future as a collective? Can astrology help us remedy childhood trauma? Astrology gives us a birds-eye view of our past, present, and future -- and the opportunities to heal issues that may have been passed down generations before us.  This episode is part 1 of 2 parts.

In this episode with certified clinical trauma therapist Sorina Mondan, we... discuss how developmental trauma causes disconnection from our bodies reveal that the language of our nervous systems is feelings and sensations, not words, therefore affirmations and mantras are not useful when we are in a hypersensitive, dysregulated nervous system state expose that mantras and affirmations can create emotional dissonance or invalidate our emotions discuss somatic experiencing reveal that the belief that we just need to heal our minds is a trauma response and takes us further out of our bodies imagine how we can bring survival responses to completion so they don’t have to be stored in the body clarify our shared opinion that “diagnoses” like anxiety, depression, or OCD aren’t actually diagnoses but our bodies’ adaptations to a dysregulated nervous system and actually often box people into an identity of these diagnoses instead of moving forward in healing talk about how our thoughts are a reflection of the state of our nervous systems, not the other way around discuss that the goal is not to be happy all the time but to create nervous system flexibility talk about how healing feels abnormal and unfamiliar which the mind resists discuss the importance of working with a therapist and not “DIY-ing” your healing through social media state that we cannot heal with the same mind that made us sick remove the shame that we “failed” to feel better and instead offer support and validation that you can explore and experience the various feelings in your nervous system and that alone is powerful in healing Subscribe!

While full of joy and family and togetherness, the holidays represent a difficult time of year for many. The American Psychological Association reports that 38% of people feel overwhelmed with grief, depression, and anxiety during the holiday season. The sources of this overwhelm include the stress of gift-giving, family relationships, and financial pressure. Given the fact that the holidays are upon us during a pandemic, well, that just adds more insult to injury. For better or worse, 2020 has been a year of immense transformation. I propose that this be the year we choose not to have the same ol' holiday. However you celebrate (or don't), these 10 tips for a trauma-informed, mentally and emotionally happy holiday season will help you navigate awkward conversation topics, set boundaries, carve out time and space for self-care, and hold space for your own or others hard feelings during this time.
