Seeking Sanctuary and Self Compassion | Arielle Schwartz

KJ embraces her inner fangirl as she welcomes today's guest, clinical psychologist, yoga teacher, international speaker and author, Dr. Arielle Schwartz.  Dr Schwartz is a leading voice in the healing of PTSD and complex trauma and she is the author of six books incorporating an integrative (somatic psychology, EMDR, mindfulness practices), strength-based approach to trauma treatment. 

In a compassionate conversation, KJ and Dr. Schwartz honor the courage it takes to practice true self compassion.

Takeaways: 

1.  Notice your body’s coping mechanisms. 
2.  Take the risk to put your gift in the world. Someone will be impacted by it. 
3.  Self Compassion practices means a willingness to let go of prescription and of trying to protocol or predict where we're going.
