Discovering Your Edge: Growth and Healing
The yoga concept of finding your edge applies to mental healing. The edge represents a balanced challenge, pushing oneself enough to grow without causing harm.
As a trauma therapist, the author encourages clients to work through discomfort, noting that genuine transformation occurs within that space. Many individuals hesitate with trauma work, fearing it will intensify pain. However, discomfort is essential for meaningful change.
Discovering your edge means progressing through difficulty, engaging with new approaches, and committing to self-discovery.
