With 4+ years of direct therapy experience and 10+ years of experience in service in the community I have worked with a variety of individuals with trauma survivors, young adults, people in the LGBTQ community, people of color, and other varied social backgrounds. As a yoga instructor and counselor, I am often asking my clients to acknowledge any uncomfortable feelings that come up in a the moment, so that they might gain a better understanding of them and begin to proceed past it. I ask them to stay mindful of any negative thoughts/emotions going on their head and if they can instead focus on their breath, remind themselves this moment is not permanent, and to maybe even smile through it
