36. Trauma and Triggers - With Genell Gorman

In this episode with Genell Gorman, we talk about childhood trauma and how it can show up in different ways later in life. We also talk about how to handle triggers. Here is Genell's bio in her own words: "While growing up I experienced abandonment, trauma and loss that followed me throughout my early adult life until it all came to a head in my mid 20’s. Through a very painful break up, my awakening was brought on. All of the pain from my past came to the surface. One of them being my father's passing from when I was just 9 years old. Since the journey began I have engaged in intensive one-on-one psychotherapy, therapy retreats focused on healing loss, inner-child work, self love, abandonment work and meditation practices. I am so thankful for all of the healing I have done to find my true purpose on who I really am. I never realized how much my father's passing impacted me throughout my life, but the more I studied, the more I was able to put all of the puzzle pieces together and be able to distinguish why I was the way I was. It all brought me right back to my fatherless daughter wound. I understand how much others normalize that not having or growing up without a father in your life is “OK” which at the end of the day is wrong in so many ways. It is crucial for us to have both parents in our life while growing up and when we don't have that, well that can really affect us in so many different aspects of our life (relationships, friendships, worklife, etc.) After all was said and done I decided what better way than to share my knowledge on how I was finally able to heal from my father's passing after 16 years. I started coaching both privately and in groups to help other women who were in my position, allowing them to heal the pain that has been sitting inside of them waiting to come out for so long. I am honored to take this journey helping others heal from all of their pain and helping you find out who they are meant to be.
