2. Processing Grief & Trauma | What Trauma Is, Finding Coping Mechanisms, and More
“Trauma” is a buzzword that everyone - from coaches to comedians - has been throwing around, but what does it actually mean? Grief and trauma are big themes on our podcast, so in this episode we are setting the tone and providing context for what we mean when we’re talking about grief. In this episode, we define grief and trauma, give examples of how it’s shown up for us, and what healing can look like.
Some key takeaways from this episode include:
A “big T” trauma is when something happens that shatters your world, and it feels like you’ll be in that lost place forever. A “little T” trauma still makes you feel unsafe but it hasn’t shattered your nervous system and ability to regulate yourself.
Understanding trauma allows us to have more empathy and compassion for previous generations, friends, and strangers. Once you recognize how trauma is driving their emotions, you can help them identify that and work through it, or at least have more empathy for them.
Resilience isn’t always a good default coping mechanism. Sometimes “resilience” means shoving your feelings down and pushing forward, which is not a healthy way of coping with trauma.
The Human Sessions podcast is a collaboration between Rachel Walt, Human Design Expert and Reiki Master, and Val Morini, Grief & Trauma Specialist and Energy Coach. On this podcast, we’ll explore how to handle lived experiences with tools like human design, mindfulness, reiki, and more.
