Ep 3: Healing through trauma: the hidden superpower of trauma (Series 1: FFYL)

This conversation delves into some of the nuances ofpost-traumatic growth, and we explore some topics a bit further from the last episode, such as how individuals can find meaning in their trauma and the healing process that follows on from Post Traumatic Growth.

 

(EDIT NOTE: I am new to podcasting and have tried SO hard and the start timing is out on this one, I can assure you that it fixes quickly. I am learning!)

 

We examine the importance of understanding our own personal experiences of trauma, such as identifying triggers, and we define the role of co-regulation in repair and recovery. We delve deeper into manifestations oftrauma – what it looks like - “now” including dissociation. and the spectrum of hyper / hypo arousal responses. Then, there are the core fears that stem from traumatic experiences and how they affect our actions and attachments.
