What if the kindness you were praised for was really a way of disappearing? On The Healing Mindset, host Mahika welcomes back Bradley Gabbert to explore the difference between surviving and healing.
Bradley shares how therapy, breathwork and yoga helped him move from lifelong passiveness toward assertiveness, and how he learned to love himself along the way.
About the Guest:Bradley Gabbert is the author of The Agreeable Child: A Yoga Journey from Tragedy to Triumph. With a background in engineering, he traces his people-pleasing to a childhood accident and coma, and found healing later in life through therapy and yoga.
Key Takeaways:- Survival and healing are two different things. A coping pattern is not your identity.
- Name what holds you back. Keep asking why until you reach a single word.
- Assertiveness is not being loud. It is knowing what you want.
- Try 4-7-8 breathing: in for four, hold for seven, out for eight.
- Healing does not have to feel like work. Find a practice you love and return to it.
