Episode Description

We often think of trauma as something extreme - a dramatic, life-altering event. But trauma isn’t just what happened to us. It’s also how our body learned to survive. It can be quiet, subtle, and long-lasting, shaping how we live, cope, and exist in the world, often unconsciously. In this episode, we unpack the quiet, psychological reality of trauma - especially in our twenties. Why do some of us feel numb, disconnected, or constantly on edge? Why do we shut down in relationships or over-function when things get hard? And how do we begin to reconnect with our bodies again? We explore: <ul> <li aria-level="1">Why trauma is subjective</li> <li aria-level="1">Survival strategies we carry into adulthood (and why they’re hard to let go of)</li> <li aria-level="1">Does the body really keep the score?</li> <li aria-level="1">How pain and shame are linked to trauma</li> <li aria-level="1">What “safety” feels like in our bodies - and how we can begin to access it</li> </ul> Whether or not you identify with the word ‘trauma’, or simply want to understand our bodies’ emotional responses, this episode is for you.
