Turn Self-Sabotage Into Self-Regulation ...

Rachel Brathen
About this episode

Are you stuck in an endless loop of self-fulfilling prophecy? Do you find the same challenging patterns repeating in your life, again and again? Do you have old wounds that keep resurfacing no matter how hard you try to keep them at bay? This is the episode for you.

In this episode of the Yoga Girl Podcast Rachel talks about trauma response, learning how to self-regulate and how to heal our childhood wounds once and for all. She shares heartfelt and personal examples from her own life and touches on her own abandonment wound to illustrate that true change is actually possible, and that healing is available to us all.

In pausing before we react we have the ability to change the course of our lives. In today’s episode you will learn not only how to recognize the patterns that may exist in your own life, but crucial steps to take to remove yourself from the self-fulfilling prophecy loop. We practice with small moments, with small fears, with mundane thoughts, so that when the big ones eventually come, we can meet them from a place of true resiliency. A lightbulb moment is waiting for you at the end of today’s episode. Tune in to find it.
