Moving With Trauma, Not Against It
from The Alchemy of Trauma Podcast · host Sally Jones & Caroline Joy
In this powerful and deeply reflective episode of Alchemy of Trauma, Sally Jones and Caroline Joy are joined by trauma survivor coach, breathwork facilitator, author and speaker Caroline Brunne. Together, they explore what it really means to live with trauma rather than trying to “fix” it. Caroline shares her lived experience of childhood abuse and family violence, and how those experiences shaped her understanding of safety, identity, self advocacy and healing. The conversation moves through the realities of masking, emotional regulation, nervous system safety, memory loss connected to trauma, and the myth that healing has a finish line. Caroline also shares the profound analogy that has helped so many people understand why trauma continues to live within the body. The episode also explores the role of breathwork, the courage it took to write and self publish her memoir, and why self kindness and support networks are essential parts of healing. This is an honest, compassionate and thought provoking conversation about trauma, recovery and learning to move with your experiences rather than against them.
