Resilience Strategies for Trauma Recovery: A Strength-Based Approach to Healing - Trauma Skills Summit

 


We can hold more together. Reaching to ... when rejected, not receiving, they feel insecure

Part of healing is to re-learn safely reach & receive

when we have a feeling, we are much more likely to remember other times we felt that way (same state) - downward spiral.  Upward spiral constantly find the time you felt safe, trusting


music, essential oil as cues for a safe environment - memories of the past and the fear of the future.

The cue will help us oriented in the present moment - the only place that we have choice is the her and now.

we cannot change what happened, but we can change our experience with it.

bring in new resource when we pull in the memory to form new memories

when we cannot flight or flee, the sequence got stuck.  we need to mindfully walk the leg, move the arm to leave the place. - here and now.

reflecting - coherence - take different parts of you to develop a sense of self.

Tea meditation - Plum Village

  This cup of tea in my two hands,  mindfulness is held perfectly.          My mind and body dwell in the very here and now.  Wherever you are drinking your tea, whether at work or in a café or at home, it is wonderful to allow enough time to appreciate it. If the weather is cold, you can feel the warmth of the cup in your hands. Breathe in and recite the first line; breathe out and recite the second. The next inhalation is for the third line, and the next exhalation is for the fourth line. Breathing mindfully in this way, we recuperate ourselves and the cup of tea reclaims its highest place. If we’re not mindful, it’s not tea that we’re drinking but our own illusions and afflictions. If the tea becomes real, we become real. When we are able to truly meet the tea, at that very moment we are truly alive. There is no way to home. Home is the way. There is no way to happiness Happiness is the way to us. A day to return to ourselves, to take care of ourselves to contemplate what's goin

The body is subject to sickness.  we are not immune.  no one is immune.  Suffering stress is part of the human condition, specifically the sickness. Setting in the body with the breath with the body.  how to have a sense of freedom in the midst of sickness.   Dropping in the contemplation into the body, a more stable available ready space. Let it vertebrate.  Later will drop in the body the reflections as if the pebble in the water.  Making space for emotions, or planting seeds for you to be with the reflection throughout the day.
