🎧 Episode 2: Understanding Trauma – It’s Not All in Your Head

Why do certain things trigger you even when you know you're safe? Why do you freeze, shut down, or feel overwhelmed for no obvious reason? In this powerful episode, we break down the truth about trauma and how it lives in your nervous system, not just your mind.

Whether you’ve experienced childhood wounds, emotional abuse, or complex trauma, this episode helps you understand your responses with compassion and clarity. We talk about survival states like fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, and how these patterns continue long after the danger has passed.

✨ Topics covered:

• What trauma is (hint: it’s not just big, dramatic events)
• How trauma shows up in everyday life
• Nervous system regulation and why it matters
• Emotional triggers, numbing, and self-sabotage
• The difference between coping and healing
• Why you’re not “broken” you’re protecting yourself

If you've ever felt stuck, anxious, too sensitive, or like you’re “too much,” this episode is your permission slip to understand yourself on a deeper level.
