This recording talks about navigating trauma and closing the loop to heal from it. Valerie helps a member on processing emotions rather than dissociating from a car accident which will help to close the loop and start the healing process. The discussion then leads into personal struggles, setting boundaries for self-care, and reflections on planning one’s time with the priority on oneself. The conversation shifts to practical aspects like establishing a consistent morning routine, managing time before a trip, and packing medical supplies for travel.

As you listen to the different challenges members face on a day to day, you are sure to learn some great advice from Valerie as she helps in presenting a different perspective on the situation.
