Episode 13 | Accessing our power after complex trauma through instinct, the symbolic life and shadow work with Hannah Fraser Moore

In this episode of The Trauma Educator Podcast, I’m joined by Hannah Fraser Moore, analytical psychologist and depth psychotherapist, whose work bridges trauma, instinct, and the symbolic life. Grounded in Jungian psychology and psychoanalytic thought, Hannah explores how early relational experiences shape the nervous system, the body, and our capacity to live with agency and meaning. She is a member of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP), and lives in the UK with her family. Together, we explore how myths, stories, and the symbolic life can support people with complex trauma in making sense of their inner world and reconnecting with parts of themselves that have been cut off. We discuss how instinct can become suppressed through early developmental trauma, and how childhood environments can shape our relationship to desire, teaching us to move away from what we want to avoid humiliation. We also talk about the fear that something bad is about to happen and how to overcome it, about the difference between anxiety and intuition, what it means to make the “right” decision, and how to deal with regret over moments we believe we've made the wrong choice.  For more information on Hannah’s work, visit here www.hannahfrasermoore.com Join The Chrysalis, my signature 12-week program on depression https://courses.effiekli.com/the-chrysalis Follow me on Instagram www.instagram.com/the.trauma.educatorVisit my website www.effiekli.com  Get in touch with us www.effiekli.com/contact And if you enjoyed this episode, please don’t forget to follow, subscribe, rate, and share to help expand these trauma-educated conversations and bring them to more people around the world who need them.
