#230 | Creating a Safe Space For Healing From Trauma


Listen Later

In this podcast episode, I'm going to guide you through the essential process of creating a safe space to heal from trauma. As someone who has worked with thousands of trauma survivors, I know firsthand how challenging yet crucial it is to establish both internal and external safety for genuine healing to begin.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Simple yet powerful techniques to create internal safety, including specific breathing exercises and self-compassion practices that you can start using immediately

• How to recognize and respond to your body's trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn) with understanding instead of judgment

• Practical steps to build an emotionally safe environment, including setting healthy boundaries and choosing supportive people to have in your healing journey

If you're carrying trauma - whether from relationships, infidelity, or other experiences - this episode offers gentle, practical guidance for beginning your healing journey. I'll walk you through actual grounding exercises and share compassionate insights to help you create the safety you need and deserve.

Remember, healing is not a straight line, and you don't have to do this alone. Join me as we explore how to make the world safer for love, starting with creating safety within ourselves.

Tune in now to and find out how to begin your healing in a safe, supportive space.
