A lot of people think that because they had food on the table growing up, they didn’t live in a war zone or have any major negative experiences, they don’t have trauma. However, it’s not just the big things that can cause trauma and a lot of it can actually stem from conditioning that occurred during childhood and the lack of certain needs being met, too. Diving into this topic and others like somatics, living authentically and toxic relationships is my guest Cara Hooper, a Leadership, Life and Trauma Coach who is a mum, a CPTSD survivor and has a vocational drive to facilitate the release from trauma using somatic EMDR and coaching.
Here’s what you’ll take away:
💗 Somatic practices that are essential for understanding and healing trauma.
💗 How to notice your feelings and emotions without judgment.
💗 Self-soothing techniques you can use straight away to help regulate your nervous system.
💗 How to recognize and address your childhood programming to understand the coping mechanisms you developed in childhood that may not serve you as an adult.
💗 The need for self-compassion in the healing process.
💗 How acceptance is a crucial part of the healing process.
💗 The importance of patience for unlearning a lifetime of programming.
