Have you ever considered how the scars of our emotional battles could manifest in our physical health? Join us as acupuncturist, Janene Borandi and somatic therapist, Jennie Pool, unravel the profound connections between mind and body wellness. They shed light on how the body not only records but reacts to our emotional history, revealing that addressing physical symptoms often requires confronting our emotional baggage for true, holistic healing.
Navigating life's emotional undercurrents isn't just about self-care—it's an art form that extends into our relationships, including how we raise our children. Jennie dives deep into the importance of developing emotional resilience and intelligence, offering insightful strategies for processing emotional pain. We also tackle the delicate, yet crucial task of repair work in relationships, emphasizing the transformative power of a heartfelt apology and the need for emotional regulation and accountability.
Wrapping up our conversation, we dissect the intricate dynamics of communication, from the role of cues and timing to the effects of attachment styles on our interactions. Janene and Jennie illuminate the fine line between assertiveness and aggression, and clarify the true meanings of terms like narcissism and gaslighting, which are often misused. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone looking to enhance their psychological health and fortify their connections with those around them.
