131 - Surprising Ways We’ve All Experienced Childhood Trauma – 3 Categories of Trauma and Toxic Stress

We've all experienced some sort of childhood trauma – yes, even you.    In today’s episode, we explore how so many childhood experiences we dismiss as “normal” can actually be quite traumatic to our nervous system.   Trauma isn’t just what happened to us or around us.  Trauma is what happened within us, because of what happened around us.    This awareness is huge because our unprocessed childhood trauma has a huge impact on our adult lives.   The signs of dysregulation we experience – emotional volatility, edginess, snapping, difficulty focusing, gut issues, etc. – are all predictable, expected, and normal responses to our life experiences.    This is encouraging, friends.  It means that we’re not broken and we don’t need fixing.  It simply means that we’re holding unprocessed trauma and stress that we need to learn how to release and heal – which is exactly what I coach on in this episode.  Don’t miss it!     TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ!   FB COMMUNITY: The Calm Mom Collective   JOIN ME ON INSTAGRAM: --🧠 What's your capacity pattern? Take the free 2-minute quiz and unlock The Capacity Code — a personalized private podcast episode for your specific nervous system. → Take the Capacity Pattern Quiz
