 I really realized I'm really not healthy mentally. I had already like think I need to go counseling or get support, but too embarrassed to ask for help. I remember like deep moments of healing where I realized who I am is already valuable and precious person. So the issues I was having with mentally was a lot of like my own disconnection from myself and just judging myself. I was an emotionally unstable student that found grounding and connection through brain education. Hi, my name is Oh Slappy. I'm from Birmingham, Alabama. And I am a brain education instructor in Marietta, Georgia. I was actually completing my master's. I had like four months left until I completed my schooling and I was doing an internship in Georgia. And I was really anxious like trying to help students. I worked with students with disabilities and deaf students at the time at a deaf school. And I was very passionate about what I was doing, but like also feeling stuck inside. Like I didn't actually know how to do what I wanted to do or couldn't like make the changes in the school system that I was working with or in general like the school system in the world. So I was so angry and frustrated and emotional. And I felt like I had losing control of myself and my life. At the time, physically I was, I had a lot of pain in my organs, like severe, really bad. But I suppressed and hid everything so that I was okay. But like severe amount of pain, just like doing like regular things like going to the bathroom or eating. So much like conflict with myself and then also a lot of pain in my body. And then emotionally I was like all over the place. I felt reckless almost like a really passionate person and very intense person, but no ability to control that like just a while. So like completely 100% go get it, create my life. And then the other time, you know, give up. Like really realized I'm like really not healthy mentally. I had already like think I need to go counseling or get support, but too embarrassed to ask for help. Cause I thought I already knew everything I needed to know about health. So I started taking the training, having a lot of awakenings, not really about like help, but about myself and how I was living and how I was almost like manipulating myself and judging and beating myself up into these cycles that were creating the problems that I hated. So when I came across just like basic principles about how to manage my energy, how to manage my mind, how to manage my emotions, I was like, whoa, everything started lining up and becoming more simple. And then I started actually teaching the students I was working with, some of the very simple techniques. So I remember like deep moments of healing where I realized, oh, who I am is already valuable and precious person. So the issues I was having with mentally was, you know, a lot of like my own disconnection from myself and just judging myself. My favorite brain education principle and practice is body tapping. I released a lot. I feel like when I do body tapping, I can get out of my head and into my body. And that's what I wanted. That's what most people want. So through body tapping, I feel like a, like breaking up all the layers and all the emotions, everything. What I would say to my old self is, you are okay. And I would give myself a hug and pat myself on the back because I think that's what I was looking for. Why I felt that I wasn't okay was I didn't love myself. I was an emotionally unstable student that found grounding and connection through brain education.
