Trauma Healing - Waves Of Emotion

This guided practice is a part of an evidence-based, 8-week online trauma-informed program, Heal My Trauma Imprint, created by Megan Kirk Chang, Ph.D. (c). A natural part of healing from trauma is learning to sit with the waves of emotion that surface with acceptance, patience, and compassion. This gentle guided practice encourages you to learn to soften judgement and let go of self-criticism when the inevitable waves of emotions like anger, frustration, sadness, and shame surface.

Thank you. Very supportive. Calming voice.

Thank you!

This is absolutely brilliant. I cannot thank you enough for your work and for putting it here for all of us to use. This is helping me through such painful, scary times. I still haven’t found a therapist who works this way, but I will keep trying. Is there anything in particular I should be searching for? Thank you.

A warm gentle hug. Thank you.

I have a different reaction every time I listen to this track. It is always good, even when it's painful. Just the right length of time to focus and go through the entire track.

A lovely reminder to be kind to myself - Much gratitude 🙏💗

Thank u for calming me and making me feel warm inside Jess j

Very easy to listen to and relax into the meditation and breathing. Useful giding words. Will definitely return here for more.

Thank you. I needed to let go.

Great idea to accept our trauma, observe and not judge. I used this today after having a bad dream and woke up emotional as it was of my childhood and brought sadness around my dead aunty and grandmother.. really helped!
Thank you, will definitely use again xox

So helpful and releasing thank you so much for these meditations. They are going to save so many people . A true gift of kindness.

Sensacional!

Exactly what I needed in this moment. Realizing that the icky feeling that can arise for me is an old trauma response that was protecting me—whew. Breakthrough! Very grateful.

Thank you

That was amazing. Thanks so much for that ❤️Just what I needed. So helpful

It was great

Thankyou so much . Truly life changing meditation

An amazing insight into feelings associated with trauma responses, in line with ACT, to accept how we feel is normal and not allow our thoughts to judge, but be self compassionate. thank you

That was lovely

That was just what I meeded

I think this was great. It helped me think about my experiences and how I am valid in my feelings of suffering

So Helpful for processing emotions! Thank you

This was so grounding and helpful after completing a therapy session recognizing my anger post-trauma. My anger is valid and good and makes sense, I have to feel it and work through it though. I’ve been so scared to be angry in the past.

Thank you❤️🙏

Very relieving. I’m not mad at the ocean so why be mad at my own rhythms?! Love it!

This was so powerful and profound for me! I love the analogy of the ocean and it’s waves, and the breathing in healing, breathing out suffering and letting go… thank you! This is going into my “favorites “ 🤗❤️

Thank you

Exactly what I needed at this moment.
Thank you.

Great small quick release medication.

The rejection I feel is heavy. Thank you for giving me a way to handle it.

Thank you

This helped me through some really challenging emotions! Thank you so much!!!!

Loved this one too! Thank you! What I find I do the most is getting angry when situations are difficult to feel or hard to accept and understand…it’s challenging not to get upset. Will keep trying.

This came up on my recommendations and what a gift it is. I'm looking forward to hearing more! I appreciate the trauma informed perspective.

Thank you

Very helpful

I love this it’s really helping me a lot and I don’t even know why or understand

She is one of the best trauma (see van der Kolk) mindfulness experts.

Thank you so much :)

Extremely helpful for me today. I was able to identify my feelings and let them in without instantly shutting them down. And because it was just a little bit and for only a short time, I was able to sit with them without becoming overwhelmed. Thank you! ❣️

very helpful and beautiful

This is a much needed meditation for me. I’d like to thank this teacher from the depth of my heart for the kindness & compassion I experienced throughout the message that was exactly what I needed due to PTSD. Thank you.

Much needed for my healing. Thank you. Much love.

I love the ocean analogy
I won’t forget this

This is so powerful for me. Thank you for sharing this meditation.🌼💖😊🌸

Very good for trauma.I get painful emotions coming up when I meditate or when I'm in any kind of silence so this helped me to deal with that without me feeling I need to shy away from silence or stillness.

That meditation is exactly what I needed right when I needed it. Thank you so much.

Namaste

Thank you 🙏

This quite brief meditation on meeting feelings arising from past trauma is powerful in its tender and loving message to our deepest hurts. Thank you, Megan

Amazing! Very calming and helpful!

Fantastic way to let go of trauma

Superb content. I just wish the volume was a but louder. Highly recommend this offering.

I love this meditation, it helps to accept the unacceptable. Thank you Megan♥️

Thank you for this beautiful meditation. Your words really help feel safe while surfing the emotion wave(s).

Very helpful, thank you

Amazing!! I was promoted by spirit to surf the never ending wave prior choosing this meditation!! So perfect! 🙏🏻 thank you!

Fantastic imagery and guidance. Much needed. Ended abruptly..no ending really. Just stopped. After a minute of silence I looked to see if it was still going, and it was over. Would like a better ending.

Honestly incredible, this really helped.

Thank you so much, this was really amazing and I’m so grateful for this practise 🥰

Thank you

Really very helpful for going inside and dealing with trauma and the overwhelming emotion and feelings there.

🙏😊

Thank you. I am so grateful for this message. Keep channeling your light. Thank you.

This meditation helped to ground me in my anxiety and grief…

Impressive!

Thank you

Dear Megan, this meditation was absolutely incredible - simply magical! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I have found you at a perfect, profound moment that really resonated with where I am at. So much love and gratitude to you ❤️

This meditation made me cry unexpectedly. If you've been pretending that you're fine when you know you're not, I recommend this meditation.

This was a very moving meditation. The image of soothing a crying baby connected with me. As mothers we intuitively know to nurture. We hold the crying baby to our chest and pat it until it calms down. I believe it is because the child feels our heart. Allowing an emotion to rise to the surface without pushing it back down takes courage but it is a freeing experience. It lifts up and drifts away if we sit with it long enough. Our hearts then feel lighter. 🙏🏻🌿🌸🦋

Dearest Megan,
I am not sure why I did not find this sooner, but the timing is perfect as I have been having many waves of emotion. It seems I have not been able to stop crying lately. That is probably healthy, and a long time coming (like years). As I listened I could really take in and visualize the ocean waves, and hold what I’ve been thinking or telling myself in non-judgment with compassion. Then let it go. That’s progress. As always your voice is so soothing and kind. Like a dear, wise friend. Thank you for the work you do Megan. Words fail me in expressing my abundant gratitude 🙏.
