Grounding for Recovery: Kelly Parmley's Techniques and Community Healing

True healing for any human being, whatever the source of suffering is, I don't believe can happen unless you do it with other people.
Feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of life and addiction recovery? This episode of 'Show Up and Stay' offers a refreshing pause. Host DeAnn Knighton sits down with Kelly Parmley, a key figure in her personal recovery circle, to discuss the powerful practice of grounding. Think of grounding as hitting the reset button on your mind and body, helping you stay connected to the present moment and the physical world around you.
Kelly shares her unique grounding methods, including a quirky one she calls 'The Scooby Doo'. These techniques aren't just about finding peace; they are practical tools for managing anxiety and other mental health challenges that often accompany addiction recovery. By tuning into your senses and surroundings, grounding helps you tap into inner wisdom and emotional balance. But this episode goes beyond individual practices. Kelly and DeAnn emphasize the vital role of community in the healing process.
True recovery, they argue, can't happen in isolation. The episode wraps up with a community grounding exercise that listeners can participate in, making it feel like you're putting your feet in cool grass on a warm day. Kelly's insights remind us that healing is a shared journey. Whether you're new to sobriety or looking for sustainable recovery strategies, this episode offers valuable tools and a sense of connection.
It's a gentle nudge to put on your own oxygen mask first, so you can show up as your best self.
