191. Trauma Is Not What Happened To You!

Hey, Survivor! What is trauma really? In this episode, I share a recent personal experience with a trauma response and explain an important distinction: trauma is not what has happened to you—it's your body's response to what happened. We’ll explore how trauma responses can appear years after an event, why panic attacks are not a choice, and how understanding the nervous system can reduce shame and increase self-compassion. If you struggle with feeling ashamed of your trauma response, alone, or crazy, this episode is for you. Know who you're dealing with.  Know who you are. 💚Lesley Book your call here.
