Show Notes:
In today's session Sara Cate and Ashley discuss the difference between bypassing and coping as a mechanism to deal with life's difficulties. We have often heard that bypassing is an avoidance tactic and we know that things can't resolve if we don't face them and often they can get worse. However... Sara Cate and Ashley again invite you have a different conversation with YOUR body to decide how to best navigate stress, and explore ways to bypass in order to better cope with what might be an intense circumstance you are navigating. Your journey with learning where you need to take breaks to better engage at a different time can only be determined by you listening to your own system. Remember, this life is hard, and its noisy, and we need to find ways to navigate it all, we are here to support you!
