S0124 Understanding your Trauma

In this episode, Understanding Your Trauma, we begin an honest, compassionate exploration into the experiences that shape us. Trauma doesn’t always come with obvious scars, it can sit silently beneath the surface, influencing how we think, feel, and live. I’ll guide you through how trauma impacts the nervous system, self-perception, and decision-making and how recognising it is the first step to healing.
This is not about blame. It’s about reclaiming your story, piece by piece, and choosing to lead your life from a place of power, not pain.
Let’s begin.
