Self-Compassion
Day Two ~ Breath
While it isn't always suggested to incorporate breath awareness or breathwork with those who have a history of trauma, it has been personally transformative for me, once I was ready for it and found the techniques that were best suited to me at first. This brief practice encourages inner-awareness for those that may feel ready to explore the deep connection that the breath can offer us.
Yoga Therapy and Trauma-Informed and Sensitive Yoga can work as a complement to other health and wellness partners for those that would benefit from a more therapeutic or trauma-sensitive approach.
Your disconnection from your needs, self-care, your body may be serving a purpose for you right now. It's okay to take this process slowly or stop at any time. If any of these practices to facilitate interoception and self-tending cause pain or discomfort for any reason,
there is always the option to stop.
For those who have a health condition, are recovering from an injury or physically demanding experience, recently experienced a traumatic event - including physical trauma, have been acutely triggered, currently experience flashbacks or unwanted disassociation , or experience an active eating disorder or body dysmorphia:
Drawing upon the wisdom from you and the practitioners that support you can support someone in an acute or recovery state - a mental and/or physical healthcare support team that incorporates the person- and relationship-centered approach of yoga therapy or trauma sensitive yoga!
