Healing From The Bottom Up

I think what's amazing about trauma therapy is when we can help educate others about the developing brain. Our stress systems within the body and the way our behavior from birth is a way  of trying to access safety, connection and regulation, even when it doesn't feel like it.Ok, that feels a little wordy, but what if you knew the way you behaved is merely trying to heal childhood wounds and trying to get your needs met.What if you knew that one of the keys to move beyond trauma into empowerment is to not burden yourself with the heaviness of shame anymore because none of it was your fault and this shame isn't yours to carry.What if you knew  that there is a very clear path to reclaiming yourself.Trauma works from the bottom up brain approach to bring the you to a safe and regulated state before working on processing the trauma, because in order to talk about what's happened to you, you need to first feel a sense of safety and regulation as you move toward healing.   Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational and inspirational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice. Privacy Notice: This podcast may use analytics through its hosting platform to understand listenership and improve content.
