My journey into creating BeMo began with a personal quest to understand and articulate feelings and needs effectively except, I had no idea that is what I needed at the time. After 20 years of on-again, off-again therapy with a therapist I love and adore, I still found myself either instantly repressing the healing points of our time together or leaving with the constant notion of, "Ya I Know, but how?" How do I heal? How do I move forward? How do I make that decision or change? So, I went back to journalling primarily with one goal in mind - to overcome Insomnia and just get enough sleep to work harder at everything. Then came the moment of burn out - not just with my career and all the areas of my life where my values did not align with what I was doing, but burn out on my dreams, desires, and relationships. I felt hopeless, without direction. For years, I journaled every night and studied many aspects of human behavior and psychology in an effort to change. Unpurposefully, after many years of pounding the pages with brutal emotions, The BeMo Practice took form. Today, The BeMo Journal is a unique tool that combines the first-of-its-kind Needs Wheel with an extensive Feelings Wheel helping users to connect and align these two important elements that form our behavioral patterns. The BeMo Journal goes beyond traditional journaling - offering a comprehensive guide to The BeMo Practice, centered around the FUNCK acronym. Through this practice, you will be able to replace the over-activated fight/flight/freeze/faint/fawn stress response patterns with patterns of hope and resilience moving from a constant state of survival into a state of truly thriving. Trust me. I Know.
