Episode notes
Use Short Grounding Tools To Reconnect To Your Body
- Practice quick grounding and body scans several times daily to return from dissociation into embodiment.
- Use breathing (light in top of head to tailbone) and heart-centered checks to notice tightness and whether your body says yes or no.
Unblend From The Overfunctioning Part With Parts Work
- Parts work helps you unblend from over-functioning protectors that keep you out of your body.
- Laura frames these protective personas as childlike parts to be soothed and negotiated with, not suppressed.
Heal Yourself To Upgrade Who You Attract
- You attract partners at your current emotional consciousness level; healing raises the type of partner you magnetize.
- Laura asserts doing inner work moves you from being drawn to wound-triggering partners to ones aligned with your higher self.
