Episode 78: Is That a Trauma Response?

The word “trauma” has become a misused buzzword these days and it's time for me to tap into my day job to really help the people understand what it really means and how it effects the way we show up in the world. Join me in this episode where I break down the true meaning & categories of trauma, the 6 most common trauma responses, and what we can do about it. Have you ever felt anxious, detached, trouble with sleeping, helpless, or severely overwhelmed? Ever wonder why it's so easy for you to pop off or avoid family and friends? If so, this episode is for you. Thank you for listening, for sharing, and for continuing to heal! Same place & time next Monday for our next step on this journey together.
