1) What's beneath the reaction?

Episode 31: Healing & Recovery.

Stephanie discusses how trauma leads to maladaptive responses such as addiction, mental health, perfectionism, codependency, and fear of abandonment to name a few. She also highlights how behaviors tell a story and how the brain and body use sensations and symptoms to communicate.

Stephanie shares the following steps:

1. Create a safe space and safe relationships.

2. Journal or jot down past experiences that stand out to you. How did these experiences make you feel? How did they shape your behaviors? What were the messages you took away from these experiences?

3. Give yourself permission to understand your feelings, have empathy for yourself. Acknowledge your feelings and let them be what they are without trying to control or resist.

4. Heal the wound - this might mean seeking therapy, treatment, or some kind of professional help.

5. Then give yourself permission to release the wound, let it go. You no longer have to be a prisoner to your past; you don’t have to be a victim anymore. It’s safe to heal, it’s safe to change, it's safe to evolve, it's safe to move on, it's safe to thrive.
