Lesson 3
Lesson 3: Mindfulness and a support network of friends and family who care are also great ways to experience healing.
The aim of mindfulness is to mentally connect with and become aware of your body and emotions instead of just denying them.
It’s difficult to do this after adversity because we don’t like to deal with painful emotions like sadness or anger.
But suppressing them, as many victims do, just leads to more problems.
Only by confronting your demons can you begin to heal from them.
Meditation techniques help you reconnect with the way you really feel so that you can start this process.
