Emerging from the shadows of complex trauma, we can often find ourselves hidden beneath layers of protective personas - masks that shield us, yet also disconnect us from our authentic selves. In this raw and reverberating episode of Hidden Healing, we delve into the maze of identity, exploring how we can reclaim our personal agency and find our way back to genuine selfhood.
Starting with my own journey from the grips of complex trauma, we explore how these protective masks form and how we can dismantle them to uncover our true identities. We discuss the transformative power of self-love and acceptance and provide practical and emotional tools such as journaling, meditation, and therapeutic guidance to assist you on your path to authenticity. Beyond the personal, we also delve into the impact of our shared narratives, examining how breaking the silence on our trauma stories can help liberate not just ourselves, but future generations. So let's embark on this voyage together, as we navigate the uncharted waters of healing, authenticity, and reclaiming our true selves.

This podcast is not meant to take the place of therapy, to diagnose or treat anyone. I have had therapy as recently as 2021 and found it very helpful. I am not a doctor. My only degree is in computers. I am simply sharing tools I have used to help myself grow to become an emotionally healthy person and sharing stories about my journey. Please seek medical help, as I did, if you are unable to cope with life and all that it brings.

Wrestling with complex PTSD following a motorcycle accident, I've found solace and strength in the simple, everyday routines. I've experienced a remarkable shift in my coping mechanism, embracing self-care habits like dressing up, exercising, and maintaining a cleaner home. I've managed to break the cycle of binge-watching TV and neglecting my daily routines. Tune in, as I unravel the process of retraining the nervous system to foster safety and reduce triggers.
Could walking down memory lane serve as a healing path? A casual stroll to a local coffee shop sparked a wave of nostalgia that connected me with my husband in a unique way. We reminisce about the simpler days of childhood and discuss the challenging complexities of childhood trauma. Join us as we explore how one can find beauty in the past and how connecting with others who share similar experiences can catalyze healing.
Finally, we delve into the transformative power of acknowledging personal growth. I share about the benefits of journaling as a tool for emotional processing and reflection. It's time to drop the weight of shame and guilt that tags along with past trauma. I'm here, ready to lend an ear whenever you need someone to listen. Let’s lean on the strength of community support, and together, navigate this beautiful yet complex journey towards healing.

Have you ever wondered why, despite feeling on top of the world professionally, your personal life feels like an entirely different story? Ever felt overwhelmed or confused but can't quite put a finger on why? You're not alone. This conversation is a deep dive into the world of adaptive behaviors and how trauma impacts our nervous systems. We'll explore the subtle ways our mind and body work together to protect us from feelings of rejection, embarrassment, and criticism, and how two types of family environments can contribute to trauma and mask its effects in unique ways.
In a transparent sharing of my personal journey, I illustrate how overwhelm and confusion have served as protective mechanisms. But it doesn't stop there. The narrative evolves into an empowering dialogue on healing and building trust through self-reflection. Embrace the concept of acknowledging and respecting our feelings as a pathway to understanding ourselves better and fostering resilience. This powerful conversation is a mirror to your soul, transforming your perspective on trauma and recovery. So, buckle up and get ready to explore the depths of your being!

In this episode, I share what I am learning about the vagus nerve. This is such an important nerve in our body and I want to learn how to get this thing that is so important, as healthy as possible.
Join me as I talk about how we can do simple things to bring our autonomic nervous system back to balance.
Just an FYI...this episode is a mess. I am trying hard to keep up with my normally high standards but I feel like right now it would not get done if I did. So I am pushing through this hard part so that I can keep growing as a podcaster and as a human. Thanks for showing up for me and giving me grace.
