Tuesday Mar 21, 2023
Tuesday Mar 21, 2023
In this episode, Dr. V sits down with Dr. Jennifer Griggs to explore how to reclaim our birthright of dignity after it has been violated. She explains what rumination is – the act of replaying past events in an attempt to make sense of them, but ultimately only leads to further damage. She shares methods for reclaiming one’s dignity, such as learning how to advocate for oneself and natural speaking therapy, as well as gardening metaphors that can be used as a tool for healing.
Dr. Griggs emphasizes the importance of being able to name and feel difficult emotions such as sadness, anger, grief, and shame, and how collapsing the storytelling without judgment and recognizing the need that was being met at the time – can provide some detachment from the emotions involved and allow for an honest appraisal of what happened.
Tune in as Dr. Jennifer Griggs explains why healing is so important and encourages us to take action in order to move forward with our lives!
