What you feed your body with nutrition matters, but what are your serving your head and your heart on a daily basis?  
 
If you want to learn more about the science and practical application of this, this is something I talk about at length on my on my podcast, in articles on Drwillcole.com and with telehealth patients to improve their labs.

This past weekend I assisted at another Brainspotting training, the first in my hometown. I really enjoyed being in the room as people from across the Midwest learned the theory and practice of this healing modality. Tears and laughter as well as deep insights came from our three days together. Thanks to Selah Counseling for hosting us.

Shame isn’t just a feeling—it’s an embodied experience that wires into the nervous system early in life. For those with developmental trauma, shame often becomes the lens through which the self is seen.

It says:
“I am bad,” not “I did something bad.”

In Brainspotting, we don’t try to talk shame away. We locate it in the body, find the spots in the visual field that hold its charge, and allow the nervous system to process what words alone cannot touch.

As the shame releases, clients rediscover a deeper truth:
I am worthy. I am whole. I am not the trauma I lived through.

🌊 We’re seriously cooling our jets tonight in Restorative Yoga. We’re learning about ways to balance heat in our bodies with foods, oils, herbs and breath and taking home cooling rose oil. Next Restore is July 13. ❤️

When summer heat turns up, so does 🔥 Pitta—the fiery dosha that governs heat, digestion, and transformation. While a little fire gives us drive and focus, too much can leave us feeling irritable, overheated, or just plain burnt out.

Yoga’s sister science, Ayurveda, invites us to live in rhythm with the seasons—and summer calls for soothing, cooling, and slowing down. Here are a few simple ways to stay balanced:

🥥 Favor cooling foods like watermelon, cucumber, leafy greens, and coconut
🌺 Sip room temp or cool water with cucumber and mint or rose—skip the iced drinks if you can
🐢 Move at a gentler pace—swap intense workouts for a walk or yin yoga
🌿 Spend time in nature, especially near water or under trees

You don’t have to push through the heat. Let summer be a season of ease

The wisdom of the body….

Our thinking brain (the cortex) is great at avoidance, rationalizing, and analyzing. But the subcortical brain (the deeper, more primitive parts) stores experiences in sensation, posture, reflex, and feeling.

Brainspotting aims to access these deeper layers by locating spots in the visual field connected to subcortical processing.

So if you find yourself crying during stillness, shaking during silence, or suddenly exhausted after a session…
It’s not sabotage.
It’s your nervous system finally exhaling.
