39 - how to handle Flare-ups w/ Jen & jen

In this video we talk about Jen Loeffler's recent flare up and how she handled it. It only lasted 4 days which is amazing! You can learn from her. A few notes from this convo: Plan for them: Flare ups can be scary, but if we plan for them, we can prepare our brain's to not freak out. Stay calm: Ultimately, we want to be sure to not freak out, remember that our bodies have healed from this before & they can again. Befriend your body: Remember that God created us in this way and we can thank God for all the great work out bodies have been doing. Investigate: We also talk about spending some time looking at what has been happening in our life around the time of the flare up. At that point, taking that situation, including the thoughts and emotions, to our God who loves us. Jen brings up the helpful analogy of our brain/body only being able to handle a certain amount of emotions - kind of like a bucket. When we don't empty that bucket, it spills over. There are several ways to empty the bucket, but our favorite way is to use expressive writing.
