Unpacking Mormonism

About Unpacking Mormonism

Unpacking is in the title of the show and it applies to all of us; being self-aware requires us to be critical of unhelpful patterns, but we also have to give credit and forgive ourselves as well. Understanding why you did what you did, is extraordinarily helpful. Sarah an ex-Mo and licensed counselor on a journey to unpack Mormonism and other religious trauma is joined by her husband Mason, a former bishop and active member of the Mormon church. Sarah and Mason have been married for 23 years and have 7 children together. Sarah is an author, podcast personality and counsels in her private practice. Mason is a retired Army officer and registered nurse anesthetist. We hope our show will demonstrate how to communicate with respect on difficult topics that we don't always agree about; but still take time to have a chuckle about our personal foibles and peeves. This is of supreme importance as we learn about ourselves. Using the lessons in our podcasts, you will learn how to become your authentic self and that you can still be in a good place, even with changes to make in your life. We love hearing from you, drop us a line and let us know how your heart and head are doing. daisygirlcommunications@gmail.com

   Unpacking with Sarah - Session Three - Feel your F&@king Feelings

   "If Sarah is feeling rage or anger, what that normally looks like for me is that in my forehead, I get really tight or my face will get really hot. My jaw gets clenched. I tend to like grind my teeth when I'm angry. or frustrated or definitely when I'm raging I don't feel like I can swallow as much so my mouth will fill up with a lot of spit my chest will be pounding like I can hear and feel my heart my biceps my arms my hands they all start to shake I tend to or want to hit punch throw things when I'm in a rage. My stomach gets really hot and tight, like I can feel automatic indigestion. It's like my body becomes hyper aware of that. My knees and legs actually feel kind of weak, which might seem off. You know, a lot of people are like, oh, I get a surge of energy all through my body so that I can run in whatnot I don't get that in my legs I tend to get really weak and in my upper body I get that energy which is probably like throwing hitting punching uh I am a fighter when I get angry so I utilize my words the most I notice that my back will get stiff and sore but my bum so here we've got our bum and our groin we do have a lot of nerve endings there..."

   From Georgetown University: Neuroscience, also known as Neural Science, is the study of how the nervous system develops, its structure, and what it does. Not only is neuroscience concerned with the normal functioning of the nervous system, but also what happens to the nervous system when people have neurological, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders.
