I Thought I Was Over This
The journey to self-awareness and healing is not for the faint of heart. Just when some new insight leaves you convinced you’ve got everything figured out - Bam! Life hits you over the head and you feel like you’re back at square one. Tragedy, loss, and traumas big and small are all part of our collective human experience that can send us spiraling. However, you don’t need to be alone. Join host Dr. Kimber Del Valle, clinical psychologist and trauma healer, as she dives into the science of “humaning,” shares stories of resilience and overcoming, and offers practical advice for how to find help and hope when mental health and relief seem out of reach. Expect a bit of the unexpected, too. Most of all, tune in to find connection, insight and make friends with the times in life when you feel like you’ve just made it off the proverbial Titantic and are in the ocean asking, now what? I don’t know what the hell to do. Season one is all things sleep (colored raven) and grounding with pause episodes (with white raven) which are mind training practice sessions for how to shift into relaxation.

Welcome to another Pause podcast episode with Dr. Kimber Del Valle. In this episode, Dr. Kimber explores grief, stress, and loneliness, offering guidance and practical tools to navigate these overwhelming emotions.
Through our breath work, journaling, and getting present with our body sensations, we will cover these three takeaways:
1. It is normal and expected to feel grief and sadness in response to loss. Whether it's the loss of a loved one or a community, acknowledging these emotions and allowing ourselves to grieve is an important part of the healing process.
2. Finding a sense of belonging and connection, even in everyday outings, can help alleviate feelings of loneliness and isolation. Instead of focusing on what we don't have, we can try to notice the ways we are already connected to others and our surroundings.
3. Taking time for self-care and reflection is crucial during times of distress. Whether it's through writing, meditation, or simply finding moments to pause and breathe, these practices can help us process our emotions and find clarity amidst difficult situations.
If you're looking for guidance and support in dealing with overwhelming feelings and circumstances, this episode of Dr. Kimber's "I Thought I Was Over This" podcast is for you. Join us as we explore practical tools and self-care practices to navigate difficult situations and find moments of peace.
