“Unmet needs create wounds and that creates trauma... and that will affect you later on in life in ways that you don’t understand.”
What is trauma? The way I see it, trauma is an experience or series of experiences that were very overwhelming emotionally, physically, or mentally, too much for you to process at the time. You might have stuffed it down, suppressed it, or disassociated.
In this grounding solo episode, I unpack common misconceptions around trauma. Trauma is a widely used term that often becomes a buzzword without a foundational understanding. I want to take you back to basics. Drawing on my 24 years working in healing spaces and as a mental health professional, I'll share my unique perspective.
Your wounded inner child expects past hurts to happen again. Healing becomes simple once you understand your core wound pattern, and learn how to address it. Addressing the root of the tree changes all the branches.
How do you know if unprocessed trauma is impacting your life now?
Push play and find out! This episode is an invitation to view your current challenges as opportunities to heal parts of yourself ready to be reconciled, reclaiming your consciousness.
