Show Notes

Mental health and emotional wellness are the foundation of feeling good and showing up as the best version of ourselves, but many of us don't know where to even begin. We may be feeling stuck, blocked, dissatisfied, less than, overwhelmed, unsettled, unhappy, confused or many other less-than-desirable ways of moving through life. 

The great news is that there's always a beautiful light at the end of the tunnel!
To begin, it's making the decision to feel and do life better and getting to the root of our trauma so we can heal. It requires us to slow down, take stock, go within and get intimately connected with ourselves.  

This episode with Greg Wieting focuses on how to navigate owning our own mental wellness by having compassion and understanding for our trauma. He shares ways to tap into understanding where you are, how to start on the path of owning your mental health and get to feeling GOOD!

Greg began by exploring his own healing as he navigated coming to terms with significant trauma. On his journey, he evaluated many holistic ways of healing and has now developed  his own system to help others. In the interview we explore many of the themes Greg sees with his clients as he shares recommendations on how to embrace the journey and empowering ourselves with owning our own emotional well being. 

Some of the topics we dive into are:

  • What is trauma informed healing 
  • How exploring your own healing can guide you to your purpose
  • Why understanding and regulating the nervous system is the beginning of mental wellness
  • Navigating fight or flight or please and appease
  • How non judgement and compassion comes into play in healing trauma
  • Why embodiment is so important when we are under stress and how to do it
  • How slowing down and taking a sacred pause can broaden our tolerance and leads to healing
  • How triggers can bring us back to the trauma event and what to do when that happens
  • How we experience emotion in our body 
  • Why triggers make our bodies respond as if the danger is real
  • Reorienting from pain to possibility
  • How mental health is evolving to accept more holistic integrative systems
  • What if anxiety and depression are healthy responses to an unhealthy environment
  • How our bodies can embody protective strategies that can be carried as weight like an armor
  • The difference between caring and taking care of someone
  • Doing relationship audits and why they’re important
  • How to handle dead ends in your healing journey and why they’re important
Every day we have the opportunity to choose to do life better. We are designed to feel GOOD and to have a happy, fulfilling life! We all deserve healing, and it begins with taking care of ourselves.
