Blimie Heller

This episode is from an interview with Parenting Coach Blimie Heller. Blimie is one of my all-time favorite interviewees and this is my 3rd episode interviewing her. Blimie and I have changed so much over the course of the last five years from the time that I first interviewed her. In this episode we talk about the ways we’ve changed in our approach to our work. We also talk about a major tool in creating a compassionate approach to viewing ourselves, our clients, and our children. Below are some points we cover: Being able to spend time with shame. The significance of having a second person witnessing our discomfort and helping emotions shift. The philosophy of Non Violent Communication on seeing the beauty in unpleasant emotions. Does being divine mean we only embrace the positive? The gift of presence and being triggering - realizing that you don’t have to do something about it. Needing to fix each other  Having needs vs being needy Creating compassion for our children. Seeing the need in resistance from parents and clients. Genuine compassion doesn’t feel like work. Blimie wanted to clarify that she exercises caution when sharing her feelings with her children so as not to make them feel responsible for her feelings. Also, sometimes, she doesn’t share her feelings at all and simply processes them with someone else. She only shares her feelings with them when she is 100% clear inside that her children are not responsible  for her feelings and only if she believes it will in some way be beneficial for them to know.

132 - Want to be more compassionate to your kids? Start with more compassion for yourself! A conversation with Blimie Heller

This episode was from a live Q&amp;A that I opened up to my e-mail list. The questions were amazing and covered a spectrum of topics that relate to regulation and creating change in our lives.

The power of mirror neurons.   Q 2) Is being triggered another way of saying dysregulation? The process of being triggered and/or dysregulation.   Q 3) How does dysregulation relate to concepts of Intuitive Eating? Regulation can replace Intuitive Eating without the cognitive construct.   Q 4) Can sharing our state with our children have a negative impact? The importance of not leaving internal struggles internal. Ways we can relay our state to our children. Finding ways to meet our needs in less than ideal situations.   Q 5) How does one balance regulating themselves and others? Changing your trauma story.

Igor Meystelman

Imago Therapist

A few weeks ago my husband and I sat down with Igor Mystelman to record a podcast. Igor and my husband are old friends, but he is also a former Divorce Attorney who has become a very popular couples’ counselor. We took this opportunity to discuss different perspectives on relationships and our role in creating positive connections.   The podcast has a great casual and really fun feel. Between the jokes and the shmoozing we cover a gamut of interesting and diverse topics. Among the things we discussed are:    The work of some early pioneers of mind-body work like Dr. Sarno and Dr. Gabor Mate and how they played a role in our journeys to healing. How I discovered Focusing, what it is, and some of the steps of Focusing and how I use them. How Igor uses the Imago technique to work on relationships. Why top down modalities cannot be the only tools we use. Comparing notes about men and women in therapeutic work and what they each need in their healing journey. Safety cues between spouses and whether we are hearing the other person - the power of mirroring and true empathy (and me chirping like a parakeet). The intersection between working on yourself and working on relationships. The importance of fighting. How many clients’ dissatisfaction comes from confusing strategies with needs.  Enjoy this episode! About Igor: Igor Meystelman is a Family Law Attorney turned Relationship Coach whose goal is to change the world, one relationship at a time. He is also a host of Dating, Marriage, and Divorce Conversations - Podcast. More information is available on his website: www.relationshipreimagined.com.

127 - Interview with my husband, Yonasan Reiser, and his long-time friend Igor Meystelman, Imago Therapist

We are surrounded by the mentality of "man up", "grow up", "don't show your emotions", "stop being a cry baby", etc.  This unfortunately has led many of us to close ourselves off from our emotional world.  What happens as a result is that when we do feel an avalanche of emotions coming, most of us go into either dissociation, disconnecting from the emotion, or getting flooded with the emotion, having it take us over, since we haven't learned how to be with our emotions.  This leads to all sorts of chronic pain, and distress in our most important relationships, where we should feel safe to be ourselves, and we don't.  So today I'm sharing a somatic exercise called Somatic Tracking that helps us learn how to stay with our emotions, bodily sensations, and felt sense, teaching our systems that it's safe to feel, leading to reduced pain and enhancing our relationships as we show up as our true selves.  Disclaimer: By listening to this episode and implementing this exercise you are not engaging in coaching with Rena Reiser and agree to take responsibility for your own health and wellbeing.

123 - A Self-Compassion Meditation: When Something Inside is Feeling Uncomfortable

Welcome to The Embodied Jewish Woman podcast with Rena Reiser.This is a podcast made for thoughtful Jewish women searching for the next step in their personal growth, the integration of mind, body, and soul. The Jewish woman embodied. A place where we acknowledge that success doesn’t come at the price of compassion, health, or peace of mind. A moment to slow down and look deeper into the needs we want to fulfill, learn about the changes we can make at the very roots of our struggles, and get clarity on what is truly valuable to us.I’ll share powerful mind body tools, compassion based methods, meditations and insights that I use along my own journey and in my work with my clients, as well as interview like minded professionals to pool our collective experience and insight so we can all connect to our inner selves and live life from a mindful and compassionate place.

We're finishing up the week of Sefiras Haomer on Hod, which is about surrendering and introspecting.  In this guided meditation we sense into how Hashem is breathing us throughout every moment of our lives, and how that allows us to surrender ourselves to Him.

 Last Wednesday we joined together for the third live Q&amp;A on The Frum Women's Insight Panel! Our topic was "How to Manage NOSH on Purim" Our panelists were Esti Asher, Gila Glassberg, and Yaffi Lvova.  Here are the questions that our panelists answered:  1) There is tons of unhealthy food around on Purim, coupled together with a lack of schedule. How can we make sure to eat healthy food, especially as in Yerushalayim it's on Friday?  2) Trading nosh for money? Is that right? Do you agree? Disagree? What message is that giving? Is it healthy? I’m never totally at peace with it. But I see people doing it all the time.  3) I’m so torn. Should I let my kids eat what they want and they’ll naturally learn that eating too much junk makes them feel gross? Or should I put a limit on the amount they eat? It’s just one day per year!  4) In the past I’ve thrown a lot of the extra nosh in the garbage, because neither me or the kids can resist having it in the house. Is that because we have no self control? I feel like some people just aren’t wired to have self control and it’s not fair to have it there as a temptation. It's human instinct to want to eat when you’re hungry. And if you’re hungry and there’s nosh… It’s as if the bechira chofshit goes out the window! What do you think.  5) I still struggle with the onslaught of nosh in my house on Purim. It gets me every year. I’m sure this is a BIG question, but how can I enjoy the nosh without going overboard?  6) How can I limit my kids Nosh intake when I sneak it when no one’s looking! I feel like a hypocrite!   --------------------------------  Links to panelists' websites:  Esti Asher: https://www.estiashernutrition.com/  Gila Glassberg: https://gilaglassberg.com/  Yaffi Lvova: https://babybloomnutrition.com/ ----------------------------- Download my free “Tune In Journal” and accompanying guided meditation here.   For more information about my 1:1 sessions and group programs, check out renareiser.com.

Last Wednesday we joined together for the third live Q&amp;A on The Frum Women's Insight Panel! Our topic was "How to Manage NOSH on Purim" Our panelists were Esti Asher, Gila Glassberg, and Yaffi Lvova. Here are the questions that our panelists answered: 1) There is tons of unhealthy food around on Purim, coupled together with a lack of schedule. How can we make sure to eat healthy food, especially as in Yerushalayim it's on Friday? 2) Trading nosh for money? Is that right? Do you agree? Disagree? What message is that giving? Is it healthy? I’m never totally at peace with it. But I see people doing it all the time. 3) I’m so torn. Should I let my kids eat what they want and they’ll naturally learn that eating too much junk makes them feel gross? Or should I put a limit on the amount they eat? It’s just one day per year! 4) In the past I’ve thrown a lot of the extra nosh in the garbage, because neither me or the kids can resist having it in the house.

I came across Rena’s work a few years back and her insights have stayed with me until this day. Well worth listening.

Great Podcast!

Welcome to The Embodied Jewish Woman podcast with Rena Reiser. This is a podcast made for thoughtful Jewish women searching for the next step in their personal growth, the integration of mind, body, and soul. The Jewish woman embodied. A place where we acknowledge that success doesn’t come at the price of compassion, health, or peace of mind. A moment to slow down and look deeper into the needs we want to fulfill, learn about the changes we can make at the very roots of our struggles, and get clarity on what is truly valuable to us. I’ll share powerful mind body tools, compassion based methods, meditations and insights that I use along my own journey and in my work with my clients, as well as interview like minded professionals to pool our collective experience and insight so we can all connect to our inner selves and live life from a mindful and compassionate place.
