Rebel Heart Coaching PodcastBuilding Your Capacity for Joy/Freedom/AbundanceMany people with trauma have a deep capacity for restriction and pain. Constriction is what the body does during stress and trauma. When you grow up or develop in these environments and with this programming, your body begins to associate constriction and stress with familiarity, security, and comfort. This means we will tend to seek people, habits, and lifestyles that create constriction because it’s what we know and what we’re used to because we have the capacity for it.Guess what most of us don’t have the capacity for? Freedom. Joy. Bliss. Spaciousness. Abundance. Connec...2023-12-1515 min
