Episode notes
Use Scent Only If It Calms You
- Try essential oils if scent reliably soothes you via the limbic system.
- Avoid them if certain smells trigger traumatic sympathetic responses.
Movement Needs No Fancy Gear
- Don't let equipment become a barrier; you don't need a yoga mat or bands to move.
- Use whatever helps you add gentle movement, but skip gear if it stops you starting.
Journals Often Avoid Hard Material
- Many guided journals frame only the positive and can bypass hard material.
- Check prompts for space to process negative emotions before committing to a journal.
