Episode notes

Self-soothing can start small and can be as simple as snapping or making a cup of tea with intention.
Slowing down and bringing your mind back to the moment is the core of self-soothing.
Crying is a biological heal and can be a part of the healing process.

1. Alex’s four most effective healing techniques that you can start today.

2. How it affects us to grow up never seeing our mothers have joy.

3. Why – if you think you don’t have any self-soothing strategies – you actually just have unhealthy self-soothing strategies.

4. Childhood wounds that surface in adulthood, and the path to intergenerational healing.

5. Where to begin when you never receive the apology and closure you deserve.
