Do you ever wonder why you react a certain way in relationships, struggle with anxiety, or find yourself people pleasing and overachieving without knowing why?
In this powerful and personal episode, Lori Gouhin explores the long-term effects of childhood trauma, even the kinds that were never labeled as such. From emotional neglect and chronic criticism to silent treatments and manipulation, these early experiences wire our nervous system for survival, not safety.
Whether you’ve struggled with trust, control, emotional numbness, or perfectionism, this episode will help you understand how unresolved trauma is stored in the body and how to begin the healing process using real, practical tools.
This is not just about mindset work. This is about healing your nervous system, reclaiming your peace, and recognizing that you’re not broken, you’re just running on outdated survival strategies.
Episode Highlights:
- What childhood trauma really means (it’s not just big events)
- How trauma lives in the body and affects adult behavior and decision-making
- Signs of an unregulated nervous system and what it looks like day to day
- Why perfectionism, over explaining, or emotional shutdown might be coping mechanisms
- Why nervous system healing is deeper than mindset work
- Healing tools including breathwork, grounding techniques, gentle movement
- The power of creative expression, reframing, and inner child work in trauma recovery
- Why healing doesn’t require grand action, just self-awareness and compassion and one step at a time
