Show Notes:
How do we ask for help and guidance along our journey while also recognizing that the things we know to be true about our body are just as valuable as the information that the subject matter expert has? It is often brought up in Sara Cate and Ashley’s client sessions that the client has been dismissed, ignored, given a diagnosis that doesn’t resonate, etc from providers in their life. The responsibility of playing an active role in our recovery/healing process is challenging, especially if we’ve never been taught how. Asking questions is not only our right as humans who live in these physical bodies, but essential to making sure that we have the right people guiding us.

Join Sara Cate + Ashley this week in a discussion with practical tools and exercises you can do to immediately start playing a more active role. YOU are the expert of your body, and when you can combine that knowledge with the knowledge of professionals, some incredible healing can really take place.
