Soft Words For Hard Days with Aundi Kolb...

MONIQUE KOVEN
About this episode

Monique is joined by the incredible Aundi Kolber, a trauma therapist and bestselling author of Try Softer. Aundi will be with us over the the next two episodes. Aundi discusses her latest book, 'Take What You Need: Soft Words for Hard Times,' focusing on the importance of gentleness and compassion in healing. She emphasizes the need for safety and empowerment in the healing process, highlighting the role of self-compassion and the significance of relationships.

Some highlights of the conversation:

  • Our capacity for aliveness can be discovered through gentle practices
  • Safety and compassion are essential for learning and healing.
  • Self-compassion is often lacking in trauma survivors.
  • Finding glimmers of aliveness can enhance emotional well-being.
  • The body holds wisdom that can guide healing.
  • Compassionate resourcing helps convey safety to our bodies.
  • Understanding our limits is crucial for personal growth.
  • Connection with others is vital for healing.
  • Healing is a journey that requires patience and self-kindness
