Our Capacity for Compassion & Nervous System State
Manage episode 389017853 series 3518094
Host Tibby Starks interviews guest Sarah Buffie, MSW, LSW of Soul Bird Consulting to discuss her five core convictions that have completely changed how she approaches relationships. These convictions include the understanding that trauma is stored in the body, regulation is a practice, perceived and real threat feel the same in the body, trauma symptoms are survival strategies, and healing happens in relationship.
The discussion emphasizes the importance of community and relationships in the healing journey and acknowledges the mental health crisis that many individuals, including foster youth, are facing. Tibby and Sarah also discuss the overlap between physical and emotional pain and the impact of trauma on the brain. They encourage individuals to focus on small gestures of compassion and to change the system by changing themselves.
