In this final episode of Season 1, we explore the hidden ways we numb ourselves to avoid pain and discomfort. From procrastination to emotional detachment, these survival responses may feel protective, but they often keep us from living fully. Together, we’ll uncover the subtle ways we disconnect, why it happens, and how we can gently come back home to ourselves. I’ll share practical tools like body scanning, grounding exercises, and creating intentional space to help you begin feeling and healing in a safe way. Let’s step out of survival mode and into true connection—because real healing starts when we come back to ourselves.

In this episode of Softspaces, we’re unpacking the powerful journey from merely surviving to truly healing emotionally and spiritually. When we go through trauma, it’s natural to disconnect as a way to survive. But while survival mode keeps us safe in hard times, it also shuts down parts of us that need healing. To move forward, we need to reconnect—especially with God.

Together, we’ll explore what it takes to let go of survival patterns, open up to love, and embrace a faith-driven path to wholeness. I’ll share insights on how to rebuild trust, restore faith, and reconnect with God in a way that nourishes your spirit beyond mere survival. Whether you’re just starting to heal or looking to deepen your spiritual connection, this episode is your invitation to discover how you can move from surviving to thriving.
