158: Ideas for PTSD from The Adult Chair

When most of us here the word PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), we think of someone that has come out of the military. While this can be very true for our military personnel, PTSD affects many others and they may not even know.    So many suffer from chronic anxiety, depression, insomnia and more and are unaware that the root issue could be PTSD. This is exactly what happened with me.    In today's show I go through symptoms of PTSD and offer stories and examples of how this may be showing up in your life. Lastly, I offer techniques and strategies for change.    Ned: https://Helloned.com/Adult   Promo code: Adult   https://theadultchair.com/membership   EMDR and/or Brainspotting Hakomi Bioenergetics NST-Neurostructural Integration   Annie Waugh Boerner   annieboerner.com Myofacial-with a John Barnes trained practitioner

155: The Magic of Being

So many of us live life from The Adolescent Chair. We rush and busy ourselves to the point of exhaustion. We stress ourselves out and wind up living with anxiety, depression and other ailments. We lack presence and feel like if we keep doing we will find our answers and that maybe when we get enough done, our problems will go away, our pain will be erased, and our stress will be gone. What if finding relief was easier than you imagined? There is magic in being that can change your life. When we are able to just "be," we can find our true Self - the self with a capital S. When we can connect into this part, our truest essence, our problems can transform, we gain clarity that we could't find before, our "to-do" list shortens, and magic happens. In today's show, I share with you the difference between meditation and being, tools to enter and live in this state, and the power we find with being. It is truly magical, and you can transform your life when you learn how. For this is where we find our Adult Chair, which is the truest version of ourselves. https://theadultchair.com/workshop  https://theadultchair.com/membership  Sponsor: Ned https://helloned.com/Adult
