EPISODE 25

Break Free from Trauma by Understanding Trauma Responses and The Hidden Patterns Shaping Your Life

Are you quick to be defensive, reactive, judgmental, or apologetic?

Then you are likely operating from a trauma response and coping mechanisms formed from unresolved traumas. In this episode, I discuss trauma responses, their impact, and how to recognize these patterns as protective adaptations, not flaws, so you can start shifting out of survival mode and thrive more readily.

By sharing insights from my personal healing journey, I reveal how unresolved traumas distort our perceptions, trapping us in cycles of fear and shame. We’ll also explore the difference between reacting out of conditioned stress and learning how to respond with mindful awareness to relate to yourself, life, and others in a more healing and harmonious manner. Discover how to break free from trauma’s control and transform old narratives, and outdated patterns with greater self-acceptance, self-love, healing intention, and self-empowerment.
