Extra Healthy-ishIn one way or another, we all carry trauma - big or little - and it can manifest as anxiety, shame, low self-esteem, overeating, addiction, depression...and the list goes on. Yet, so many of us are unaware how stuck we are in the cycle of reactions and patterns that stem from these past traumas. Think about it: have you experienced a destructive relationship? How does that impact your behaviour in your current one? Do you get lost in muddy feelings of hurt and pain which result in destructive relationship habits?
Dr Sarah Woodhouse is a trauma expert, research psychologist, author, and coach dedicated to empowering people to break free from trauma and create the life they want. Her new book, You’re Not Broken, empowers people to recognise their trauma - and heal - for more fulfilling relationships (and life).
Dr Woodhouse wants trauma to be understood like anxiety is today, so in this episode she talks through some common relationship triggers that can remind us of a past trauma, and four easy techniques for handling emotions when you’re triggered.
