Cultivating a Sense of Agency to Overcome Trauma

In this episode, I am going to talk about cultivating a sense of agency to overcome trauma.

This mindfulness exercise is designed to help you overcome the harmful effects of trauma, And to give you a stronger sense of self-agency, and control over how you relate to your trauma. 

There may be natural, common feelings or beliefs about trauma you may have experienced, including entrapment, immobilization, and helplessness. Another common feature of trauma is feeling fearful of communicating.

To some degree, you may not feel like you can escape the awfulness of it. 

Three Ways You Can Cultivate a Sense of Agency to Overcome Trauma

1. You can begin reflecting on experiences that define who YOU are with confidence.
2. You can take on challenges with strength. This provides the mind with the belief that you are greater than your past, bigger than anything that’s happened to you.
3. You can be an active participant in your life unfolding and reshape your future to be as bright and healthy as you desire. 

Hoping this exercise was helpful to you. Please share your experience with us.

Many blessings!
