I have many values and strengths, although it has taken me some time…

The Johari Window suggests that there will always be some things that remain hidden from consciousness. These are things that can unfold themselves over time, moving into other "panes" of the window.

“At the core of recovery is self-awareness” (2014, van der Kolk, p. 210). Events during this packet provided me the opportunity to explore further in my yoga practice. I revisited the “Healing from Trauma” section of van der Kolk’s The Body Keeps the Score, and peeked into the insights of B. K. S. Iyengar. As I explored my emotions and self-awareness through yoga postures, each movement and thought opened a door to the proactive exploration of my inner world. My practice of yoga brought me into…
