Take Control of Your Life: A Toolkit for Healing
Descripción del Episodio
In this episode, I’m making the topic of trauma easier to understand by taking you step by step through my recent revelation that I was struggling with past trauma.
I was one of those people who thought I didn’t have trauma. And you may be like that too.
But if you have trouble managing emotions, expressing your feelings, dealing with upset, you go on edge easily, you have trouble focusing, or you struggle with anything like anxiety….
This will be very eye opening.
The words “trauma” and “nervous system” are thrown around like candy online.
I want to share the profound things that I’ve learned about both topics and how I’ve started to address and heal the trauma in my nervous system.
This episode is personal, it’s important, and tactical, and most of all – it’s packed with tools you can start using right now.
I hope this episode opens your eyes in the way that it did mine, and makes you not only understand this topic – but yourself a little bit better.
And, to go deeper, I have a free 9-page workbook for you that serves as a companion to this episode to help you with your own healing.
Just click here to access it.
And, this episode covers sensitive material, including discussion of trauma and sexual assault. If this topic isn’t for you right now – please skip this episode.
