Status Updates From How to Do the Work: Recogni...

It is okay so far.

Good information, but not exactly pertinent to me.

i’m proud of myself for recognizing most of my patterns but the book is helpful to know why i was stuck in those patterns and how to break them

New habits on it’s way. Read about reparenting as an adult in the metro on my way to work.

need to finish journal prompts

Wow. Still wow.

i’ve cried basically the entire time reading this and i haven’t even got to the hard parts

i’m trying to be open to learning and not having the mindset of oh this is stuff i alr know

👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Alright, this is great.

"Nonactivated peace is dull and unfamiliar. Our body and mind seek the familiar, even if it is painful, and many of us are left ultimately feeling ashamed about and confused by our behavior." — on childhood trauma and how it effects our everyday behaviors.

"racism, bias, and bigotry make their way into the body’s cells, changing the body in fundamental and destructive ways that are passed down through generations."

...like when you tell a friend about a job promotion or a recent vacation and they immediately steer the conversation back to their problems... Often emotional dumpers feel comfortable ... only when discussing topics that allow themselves to feel depressed.

Highly recommend this book for anyone. This is not a typical self-help book. Drawing on science, this clinical psychologist presents an incredibly convincing case for crafting a life with physical/psychological/spiritual integration and wellness ("holistic psychology").

Taking my time reading this one because every page contains incredible advice and sight.

‘What can I do for myself in this moment’

"children exceed us in their connection to their intuition and their core Self."

Points - wholistic psychology
1: daily work
2: stoic style ‘what we can control’
3. Tools are practical

So good so far!

Learning a lot about myself, the reason why I behave the way I do, and how others may be doing the same thing! I’m not saying I’m a psychologist or anything but I’m catching myself witnessing others behaviors and why they would be behaving that way 😂 ( no judgement of course) but it makes me feel more empathetic towards them

Good and helpful

I would recommend this book to everyone. Everyone. Everyone.

Woo woo. Sounds like some good points combined with speculation. The author brought up placebo and nocebo, and I hope the author also mentions the the part where it's temporary, otherwise it's just misleading.

boundaries.
“she found her identity in pleasing others, and since she had no boundaries in place to protect her, she became so in service to others, that she lost all connection with her authentic self”.

This chapter is teaching me about the vagus nerve and how it affects the body.

Been also listening to her podcast, learning more of my trauma, my griefs and moments when I am enduring a change in my life that’s alarming me and telling me something needs to change and or something IS changing. Understanding when the body is alerting me, i can rewire my response accordingly and take control of what my body is experiencing and saying as well as what os triggering it.
