In this special Thanksgiving episode, Kari dives deep into the transformative power of gratitude and how it can serve as a powerful antidote to anxiety. As we approach the holiday season, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the demands of life, family, and the stress of the year. But what if there was a simple, yet profound way to shift your mindset and find peace amidst the chaos? In this episode, we explore: The connection between gratitude and mental well-being, and why it’s a powerful tool to combat negative emotions, especially anxiety. Why gratitude and anxiety can’t coexist—exploring the science behind how our brain processes both emotions and how focusing on gratitude can help quiet the anxious mind. Practical tips on how to create a gratitude list, and why writing down what you're thankful for can change your perspective and help you reframe your thoughts, even in tough times. You’ll also learn how to turn your Thanksgiving tradition into an opportunity for personal growth, making it not just about celebrating with loved ones, but also about reconnecting with what truly matters in your own life. Key Takeaways: Gratitude acts as an antidote to anxiety by shifting your focus from fear and worry to appreciation and abundance. Anxiety thrives when we focus on what could go wrong, while gratitude invites us to focus on what is going right. A simple practice of listing your gratitudes can help rewire your brain to embrace positivity and shift your mindset. Tips for creating your own gratitude list: Start small—write down at least 5 things every day that you are thankful for. Focus on both the big and small things: relationships, experiences, even simple pleasures. Consider how your gratitude list can become a daily or weekly habit, not just a holiday exercise.   Call to Action: As you prepare for Thanksgiving, take a moment to reflect on everything you have to be grateful for. Grab a journal and make your own list of blessings—big or small. Share your gratitude lists with us on social media or send us a message about how gratitude has helped you overcome anxiety this year.  TAKE THE PURPOSE PURSUIT DIGITAL COURSE!  Link below!   Welcome to The Well Community!

In today’s powerful episode of The Well Health and Wholeness Podcast, we are joined by Sarra Lashhab, a licensed mental health therapist specializing in trauma recovery and working with survivors of sexual assault. Sarra provides a deep dive into EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) — a highly effective treatment for trauma victims and rape survivors. Episode Highlights: What is EMDR Therapy?: [Guest Name] introduces EMDR, a transformative therapeutic approach that helps patients reprocess traumatic memories and reduce emotional distress. How EMDR Works: Learn about the science behind EMDR therapy and how it facilitates healing by using bilateral stimulation to help rewire the brain’s response to trauma. The Healing Process for Rape Survivors: Sarra shares insights into how EMDR therapy is particularly effective for rape survivors and other victims of abuse. What to Expect in an EMDR Session: Gain a better understanding of the therapy process, what clients can expect during their first session, and how the treatment helps them reclaim control over their lives. Key Takeaways: EMDR as a Trauma Recovery Tool: EMDR offers hope for individuals suffering from PTSD, childhood trauma, and sexual violence. This evidence-based treatment works by helping individuals process distressing memories in a safe and supportive environment. The Power of Talk Therapy: Combining EMDR with traditional talk therapy helps individuals work through the emotional and psychological pain caused by traumatic events, leading to profound healing and resilience. Taking the First Step Towards Healing: If you're a trauma survivor or know someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights into how EMDR therapy can make a life-changing difference. Resources Mentioned: EMDRIA Website – Learn more about EMDR and find certified therapists near you. Connect with Sarra for more information about their practice and services. Website: https://www.healingloudly.com Instagram: @sessionswithsarra Phone: (239) 688-5478 Email: [email protected] From Sarra: Since I was 15 years old I have been a part of the movement against sexual violence. During my teenage years, I was volunteering with a local rape crisis center which is when my passion started for helping people heal from trauma. For the past 9 years I have experience working in clinical mental health settings. My favorite part about being a therapist is seeing people regain their life back. A traumatic event can have an enormous impact on the way people feel ashamed about what happened, unsafe in the world, and voiceless. As a trauma-informed therapist I treat PTSD, anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem, and issues with body image. Healing Loudly can help you release the pain of your past and live fully in the present moment.  I provide EMDR therapy in Fort Myers, FL and virtually across Florida. If you are ready to start your healing journey, give me a call or send me an email to schedule your first therapy session.  ____________________________ Welcome to The Well Community!
