This is an episode from the Replay series in which we look back at past episodes for those new to the podcast.

Today we look back at my discussion with Orsi, which was originally published on 5th February 2023.

We discuss how meditation and yoga can help cope. Methods for coping with trauma are vital when going through alienation, family court or other stress. Orsi has great practical advice which is why this episode was picked to air again.

It originally aired as episode 12, way back on 5th February 2023. Here are the show notes from that show:

Today we talk with Orsi, a meditation and yoga teacher about using them to help cope with trauma.

There is lots of content out there but I want to discuss meditation and yoga in the context of parents going through hell and how it can help. Some parents may not have considered meditation due to lack of time or stress so, for our listeners, I wanted to raise it as a tool to try.

The family court is brutal for parents and children. It shouldn’t be but it is.

Children and parents can be in limbo for years and suffer alienation. Parents can also suffer false allegations and financial hardship. Servere trauma can result.

One thing I want the podcast to look at is ways to cope. We need ways to cope because family law is a long way from perfect and legal professionals can be detached from empathy and understanding.

There are many tools we can use and today we look at meditation and yoga.

Both are used increasingly these days. Many top people use meditation for business, sport and wellness. We need to try and stay well throughout the court process or while being abused so this episode is in the context of using these tools to help parents cope.

Orsi discusses also discusses how meditation and yoga can help children, whether they are stressed by court or just to help with life in general. Meditation and yoga can help in so many situations.

Sounding Like A 'Professional' Podcaster
Most podcasts have a BuyMeACoffee link and ask listeners to write reviews. I meant to do that at launch in 2022 but never got around to it. I don't often look at the podcast stats but I did this week and noticed a large increase over the last 3 months. That's great. I am thankful to all listeners and guests.
