In Episode 1, Dr. Divi returns after a short break to begin Part One of a three-part series on surviving family and holiday time\u2014support that applies not only to the holidays, but to Mother\u2019s Day, birthdays, anniversaries, and any moment when family dynamics activate old emotional patterns. This episode gently guides listeners into the present moment, offering simple nervous-system regulation through breath and awareness. Dr. Divi also shares personal life updates and upcoming offerings, including free Inner Temple workshops, in-person events, and group coaching containers. At the heart of the episode is a compassionate exploration of why family gatherings are so triggering, grounded in neuroscience and emotional healing. Dr. Divi explains how childhood emotional imprints are stored in the nervous system, activating familiar fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses when we return to family environments. These reactions are not flaws\u2014they are learned survival programs. Listeners are guided through Step One: slowing down and recognizing emotional patterns, including when creating space is necessary for nervous-system safety. Step Two focuses on journaling as a powerful tool to access childhood imprints and rewire the brain, helping emotions move from reactivity into regulation and awareness. This episode sets the foundation for meeting family triggers with compassion, understanding, and the possibility of true transformation\u2014rather than avoidance ","author_name":"Shift Happens with Dr Divi","author_url":"https:\/\/sites.libsyn.com\/489182","html":"
