In recent episodes of the Woman Worriers podcast, guests Tami Simon and Thais Gibson have talked about attachment wounds and how they impact our lives and relationships. How do we heal those core wounds? Talk therapy and connecting with others can help, but some of the healing has to come from within the body. In this week’s podcast episode, host Elizabeth Cush, LGPC, a licensed professional therapist and founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., shares her journey of healing by getting in touch with her body and what it’s telling her—and how those messages have helped her manage anxiety. She will also guide you through a progressive body scan—a type of meditation that can help you start to tune into your body with kindness and compassion.
