Description

Quiet seasons are often supposed to feel peaceful. But sometimes, when life slows down, old memories, emotions, or questions begin to surface—unexpectedly and loudly. In this episode, we talk about why that happens. Not from a place of diagnosis or urgency, but with compassion and curiosity. This is a gentle conversation for anyone who's noticed that when the noise fades, old wounds seem to ask for attention. >> Is This Still Affecting Me?: A Gentle Reflection Guide RELATED EPISODES: · Episode 131: Healing in Layers: What Art Taught Me About Grief · Episode 178: Exploring Our Stories One Piece at a Time · Episode 94: Entering the Silence and Stillness with God: A Conversation with Blogger and Writer Celia Miller ______ >> Free Journaling Workshop: 3 ways to encounter God on the pages of your journal http://lovedoesthat.org/journalingworkshop >> Journal Gently Program: 8 week writing program to start healing from grief and trauma http://lovedoesthat.org/journalgently >> Book Kari as a speaker for your next event: http://lovedoesthat.org/speaking
