Pause: Taking Pause - Tools and Support for Overwhelming Feelings and Circumstances [Pause 41]
Are you looking for guidance and support in dealing with overwhelming feelings and circumstances? This Pause episode of the "I Thought I Was Over This" podcast is for you. In this episode, Dr. Kimber explores grief, stress, and loneliness, offering guidance and practical tools to navigate these overwhelming emotions.
Through breath work, journaling, and getting present with our body sensations, we will cover these three takeaways:
It is normal and expected to feel grief and sadness in response to loss. Whether it's the loss of a loved one or a community, acknowledging these emotions and allowing ourselves to grieve is an important part of the healing process.
Finding a sense of belonging and connection, even in everyday outings, can help alleviate feelings of loneliness and isolation. Instead of focusing on what we don't have, we can try to notice the ways we are already connected to others and our surroundings.
Taking time for self-care and reflection is crucial during times of distress. Whether it's through writing, meditation, or simply finding moments to pause and breathe, these practices can help us process our emotions and find clarity amidst difficult situations.
Listen in to explore practical tools and self-care practices to navigate difficult situations and find moments of peace.
