I Just Want to Feel Better โ Tracy Cordner | Healing Work
The case for embracing โnegativeโ emotions.
Have you ever said, "I just want to feel better," or "I don't want to have to feel this"? You're not alone. But have you ever wondered why you don't want to feel, or why you have negative emotions in the first place? Check out my latest blog post to dig into this.

HEALING HAPPENING:
6pm Nov 24 at JPH - Honoring Grief. Our loved ones help meet our many human needs, and when they pass we can be suddenly cast into a raft of unmet need. Join me in a tender exploration of this aspect of grief. Join the waitlist here: www.eventbrite.com/e/honoring-g...

In Healing Work, we can wake up but mostly we grow up: we explore the barriers to knowing and living whatโs really true for you. It takes time, sincerity, and maturity to bother, since itโs not easy. This is why I call it Healing Work, not Healing Fun! But growing up satisfies like nothing else. 6/6

Growing up is heeding your wake-up call, not dismissing it just because no one else agrees or sees what you see. Growing up is HARD and it doesnโt happen on its own.
You can think of waking up as a taste of your potential, and growing up as the grit and grunt of birthing it. 5/6

Growing up is the much harder part. Growing up is the practice needed to integrate your awakening. For example, if you wake up one morning and realize youโve been living for others, growing up will mean learning what living for YOU looks like and then making real strides to do that. 4/6

Waking up can be a kind of rude awakening, for example suddenly seeing that your life is not your own โ that youโve been living for other people, nor do you know anything about how to live for yourself. Waking up is a flash of insight, a sudden knowing, a bones-deep taste of whatโs really true. 3/6

Waking up is the insight that there is more to life than you knew. Sometimes itโs spiritual: you have an awakening โ for a moment, everything is made of love. Maybe you discover your lifeโs purpose, or you have an experience of knowing deep in your bones that life doesnโt stop when you die. 2/6

Have you heard the phrases โwaking upโ and โgrowing upโ with regard to personal/spiritual development? Hereโs how I think of these things (see thread):

Some magical things:
๐ฎ Despite a nor'easter, we had a FULL HOUSE!
๐ฎ JPH was still decorated from their Wolf Dinner, so the space was dazzling!
๐ฎ As always, the magic is in the connection. Your openness + my offering = powerful potion. We all go home feeling rinsed clean.
Grateful! ๐

Changing up the fruit water! Introducing strawberry lime - a squeeze of fresh lime and a frozen strawberry or two in ice water. It's getting rave reviews!
The fruit water is fun but purposeful - Healing Work is mysteriously dehydrating.
Come try it out!

4 years ago I left a signup sheet at Circle Of Life Chiropractic offering free 30-min sessions. I was as nervous as I was excited when a list of people signed up.
These days I greet my cozy office like a cherished friend: "Hi! It's so nice to see you again."
Happy 4th birthday to Healing Work ๐๐

I had a JOB, training specialist, teaching whatever I was paid to. But no matter what I was teaching I'd find myself engaged in conversations about healing. I came to understand healing as my WORK - the thing I care about, what gives me meaning.
How much of your WORK can you do at your JOB?

Ah, it's back to school time! It was the first day for one of my teenagers. Waking up before the sun is not exciting, but routine feels supportive and cozy.

I'm back from vacation โ happy to report it was everything it needed to be: a getaway, room for me to practice, and precious time with family. I'm truly refreshed and excited to put new knowledge into practice.

You get to enter your trauma work as your full self โ a complete human who has a traumatic imprint that needs to be understood and tended to.
Trauma work is self love. 5/5

Trauma work can't skip over the pain. But you donโt have to re-live an awful experience from the perspective of the person you were when it happened. 4/5

Whatever happened, the details of it, the timeframe, the names and locations โ those things may come up but they are not the point.
The point of our work is to address the imprint. I donโt ask โWhat happened?โ but rather, โHow does that affect you?โ 3/5

Trauma is an imprint. Something happened which affected you in a certain way, and you did all kinds of things to manage this imprint. You left your body. You forgot. You went to sleep. You got busy. You vowed to protect all others from ever having that experience. 2/5

My clients are relieved when I tell them that they donโt have to tell me what happened. Itโs hard to believe, isnโt it, that you wouldnโt have to go through it again to become liberated from it? 1/5

Anxiety is dreadful, but when we understand it as expression of our inner childโs rightful unease, overwhelm, or insecurity, we can soften enough to process it, to heal. We don't need to love the experience of anxiety, but we do need to approach gently. 4/4

Love makes us soft. This is why inner child work is so powerful, because it makes us soft; it lets us love the experiencer without loving the experience. 3/4
