Trigger warning: domestic abuse, substance abuse

A lot of us carry trauma, wounds, and “baggage” related to our past. Whether it be a relationship that went wrong or another life event that left us questioning everything, how we navigate relationships can sometimes be changed forever. The good news is that with a little awareness, we CAN prevent our past from destroying good things in our future.

This week I am so pleased to have Katie Davie back to talk with me about accepting our previous wounds while committing to healing them. We discuss:

-What trauma is

-How trauma can be created in dating situations

-The different types of trauma

-Overcoming trauma before dating again

-Recognizing when trauma is rearing its head in a new relationship and addressing it

-Our stories with trauma and overcoming our pasts

Please go show Katie some love, and get in touch with her if you want to learn about one-on-one support for navigating the co-parenting journey. You can find her on IG at CoparentingPeacefully.
