In this episode I’m joined by Dr. Deniz Ahmadinia, a trauma informed and anxiety psychologist who integrates holistic modalities, mindfulness, and body-based therapies to help empaths and highly sensitive people embody healing.

We discuss:

  • What is self-awareness and mindfulness?
  • How to use self-awareness and mindfulness to navigate trauma.
  • Big T and Small T trauma and how it affects your nervous system.
  • Attachment wounds and its connection to your empathic and sensitive nature.
  • Developing a self-compassion practice to meet your needs and support your nervous system.
  • The importance of boundaries to avoid self-neglect and burn out. 
  • Becoming aware of when and how your nervous system activates.
  • The role intergenerational trauma plays in your life and the impact it has on your healing.
  • How to cultivate safety from the inside out to develop self-trust and uphold your boundaries.
