Holding The Helper - Therapeutic Meditations
Put the book down. Just breathe.
Guided meditations for the cancer caregiver, one for every chapter. Grounded in Polyvagal Theory and Somatic Experiencing, built for the exact moments caregiving asks the most of you.
This is more than meditation, it's moments to just breathe as you migrate the big feelings of a cancer experience.
Each recording is-
Trauma-Informed: safety, compassion and choice, always.
Science & Soul: grounded in nervous system wisdom.
Short & Accessible: each audio around 20 minutes, anytime, anywhere (just not whilst driving!)
Private & Secure: Create a space to listen and restore.
Invitational: invite supportive internal resources to step forward.
