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

Absolutely loving it so far

If you see a bear, your mobilization mode may be activated, as your body primes you to either run or flee. But if the bear is already on top of you, your body might just give up and play dead.

Begin to practice being kind to yourself and your loved ones, regardless of what comes up. How a parent-figure treated you as a child is not a reflection of who you are. Or even who they are. You do not need to be a reflection of their unprocessed trauma.

I’m so overwhelmed with information!!!!!!

Had to return it before I finished but it was good enough to finish at some point.

10 out of 10 would reccomend for any human working to better their selves & to understand theirselves.

Liking it so far! I have to take it slow. It’s a lot to digest at once.

Audio book while working!

Statistically, only 7% of the day our brain is ever fully active, the other 93% it rests in autopilot. What? Kind of crazy.

Ugh, this will be a struggle. Sounds already like this is going to be a book that criticizes current standard of care, making dramatic claims about success which have led to fad social media followings. But, unlike what the title says, why doesn’t anyone with “holistic” treatment approaches (a true misnomer and derogatory) actually DO THE WORK and show the data??

this!!!!!!

"Перший ювілей платформи "Холістичний психолог" я відзначила проведенням медитації для внутрішнього дитяти на західному узбережжі країни"
Усе ригає. 16 сторінка а вона мене вже бісить.

WOW. like it so far.

This book is so incredibly useful

Back at home in the hustle and bustle of city life, I could mask these troubling feelings by channeling all of these energies into action: cleaning the kitchen, walking the dog, making endless plans.

pausing because i am 1000% not in the right headspace for this

Hacía mucho que no disfrutaba tanto un libro no ficción a este punto

yes, I am journaling all the exercises at the end of the chapters. and yes, I am going to review some of the lines in the boundaries and trauma bonds chapters and put them on sticky notes as reminders 🫶🏻

not me underlining/highlighting everything in the chapter on boundaries 😭😭 lol. this book really boils down how to practically adjust interpersonal communication and self-talk as well.

I feel so seen

Enjoying picking this up again

I know the info is needed, but holy cow balls is it overwhelming and depressing so far. The second half is finally giving solutions. Good thing because if I didn’t make it this long, I might thrown in the towel from hopeless caused by reading this. This is the result of reading a book about trauma when you have trauma.

i’m trying here

Combination of antidotes & task to journal to. I prefer when theres breaks to reflect & journal prompts.

This would be a better book to own so you can mark it up and use it as a guide. Listening to it is a little bit more disengaging.

oh :D

Life changer

Sentindo que vai ser uma leitura muito enriquecedora
