Pause: Navigating Anxiety -Grounding Techniques [Pause 57] Artwork

I Thought I Was Over This

The journey to self-awareness and healing is not for the faint of heart. Just when some new insight leaves you convinced you’ve got everything figured out - Bam! Life hits you over the head and you feel like you’re back at square one. Tragedy, loss, and traumas big and small are all part of our collective human experience that can send us spiraling. However, you don’t need to be alone. Join host Dr. Kimber Del Valle, clinical psychologist and trauma healer, as she dives into the science of “humaning,” shares stories of resilience and overcoming, and offers practical advice for how to find help and hope when mental health and relief seem out of reach. Expect a bit of the unexpected, too. Most of all, tune in to find connection, insight and make friends with the times in life when you feel like you’ve just made it off the proverbial Titantic and are in the ocean asking, now what? I don’t know what the hell to do. Season one is all things sleep (colored raven) and grounding with pause episodes (with white raven) which are mind training practice sessions for how to shift into relaxation.
