Mainstream media and psychology focus a lot of the brain and it's considered, often, to be the "end all, be all."
However, in my experience, the heart is that truly runs everything.
We can rewire our brains (top-down approach) and there's a time and place for that.
However, memories, energies, and emotions live in our bodies and our bodies always keep the score (bottom-up) and composes the foundational hardware of our being that is our body.
If you can truly connect with the heart and "own" your Truths, you can become unstoppable, being able to perceive Truth and being able to master your own emotions, moving toward a more permanent state of groundedness, rather than trying to bypass trauma through "thinking your way 'out' of it."
I recently posted a YouTube video on our Love Is Healing, LLC channel called something like "The Brain Versus the Heart" and I found myself saying something that life has taught me to be true, "The more disconnected someone is from themselves, the easier they are to manipulate." I say this to invite you to connect more with yourself so you become less likely to be manipulated. Who are you, really? Behind all the masks, responsibilities, societal pressures? Why do you do what you do? What do you stand for and why? What is there to let go of? Give yourself grace <3 #dbt #trauma #mindfulness #heartbrain
