Finding Safety Within
Episode 6 season 6: Biz Cush on Sensitivity, Safety, and Self-Compassion
If you often feel anxious, overwhelmed or alone, if you frequently find yourself in relationships that cause you pain, listen to this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast as host Elizabeth Cush shares her experiences with finding safety within.
“It took me treating myself with the compassion, kindness, and understanding to find a community who would treat me the same way.”
Show Notes:
Have childhood neglect, trauma, chronic illness affected your internal sense of well-being? Does the state of the world leave you feeling overwhelmed? If you’re a highly sensitive woman, chances are you have felt an outsized impact—and it’s equally likely that you’ve been told “you’re over-reacting” so often that you no longer trust yourself. That’s a hard place to be. The good news is, no matter where you are on your journey, you can heal, and keep healing. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a soul support for highly sensitive women, talks about safety and community, shares some of her own journey, and offers insight into the tools she used to settle the noise inside , reconnect with her inner wisdom and intuition, and really learn to trust herself.
