Breaking Free of Trauma: Tools for Emotional Resilience and Recovery

Host Susi Vine interviews Carolyn Cahn, RN and success coach, about helping people break through blocks such as low self-esteem, ADHD, burnout, procrastination, and stress-driven avoidance habits. With 35+ years’ experience and training in NLP, IEMT, hypnosis, and other modalities, Cahn shares her nursing path from ER to corrections, how continued education led her into hypnosis and other complementary tools that support radical emotional recovery where other systems fall short.  She explains the risk of allowing stress to snowball into greater issues, describes the brain’s learned safety patterns, and outlines how IEMT aims to separate emotion from memories—contrasting it with EMDR’s longer, talk-therapy-heavy process. She discusses trauma as cumulative, the limits of “labels,” the need for willingness and action, and the powerful perspective one can achieve with post traumatic growth.  Inside this episode:  02:30 Continuing Education introduction to Hypnosis  04:12 Resilience tools for Real Life 05:45 NLP in Corrections 07:09 Stress Signals and Coping 09:59 Procrastination and Avoidance 12:33 Staying Stuck versus Being Ready 15:20 NLP and Brain Safety 18:17 IEMT Quick Emotional Release 20:45 Self Talk and Self Esteem 23:22 Modalities Working Together 25:15 Trauma and Growth  27:32 IEMT Versus EMDR 29:16 Letting Go of Labels 32:38 Carolyn's Healing Story 38:09 Relationships and Boundaries 41:35 How to Work With Carolyn 43:47 Final Tip Self Talk Practice Connect with Carolyn and explore her free resources at her website, carolyncahn.com Learn more + search all episodes by topic at happifiedlife.com, and join the conversation in the Live with Less Stress facebook group.  The information in this podcast, or in any linked materials, are not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any specific health problem, and it is not a substitute for professional medical expertise or treatment.  The content of this podcast is not intended and should not be construed as medical advice.  It provides general information and discussions about health and related subjects that are deemed reliable at the time of production.  Always consult with your health care provider so that they can address your specific situation with all the information and knowledge they need in order to provide the fullest extent of medical support that you require. Be well, and thrive!
