In response to the horror we are all experiencing, witnessing in real time the genocide of the Palestinian people, you may notice your body going into what’s known as freeze, shutdown or collapse. This embodied somatic practice is intended to support you through those times you’re feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, helpless, guilty, ashamed, grief, numb or dissociated. 

This guided practice will gently encourage activation within your nervous system and includes elements of visualisation, self touch, breathing and movement.

This episode will explore definitions. We will start to understand what trauma actually is, understand the differences between different categories of trauma – what is complex trauma, what is childhood trauma and what is CPTSD as both a diagnosis and lived experience? We’ll also look at the impacts of trauma and where that leaves us as survivors, unpacking what the healing process can look like in therapy.

Welcome to the first episode of Healing CPTSD.

Join me, Bianca, your host and fellow survivor of childhood trauma, as I take you through my personal story. I touch on my complex childhood trauma history, my struggles with being disembodied and dissociated, what led me on my journey to recovery and resources that supported me on the way. I will also share the evolution of my professional journey into private practice with Embodied Self Therapy alongside all of this.

Welcome to Healing CPTSD. Here we will journey together in healing from childhood trauma and complex PTSD. 

I'm your host, Bianca Winter-Mallari, a fellow survivor of childhood trauma, as well as a BIPOC identifying trauma-informed counsellor, somatic therapist and the founder of Embodied Self Therapy, an online private practice serving people worldwide.

On this podcast, we'll be unpacking all things trauma and exploring pathways to recovery through somatics and embodiment, nervous system regulation, parts work, community and trauma informed care.

Expect episodes to cover psychoeducation, embodied practices, and candid conversations with value-aligned partners, sharing their expertise and lived experiences. Of course, you’ll also get personal insights from me along the way. 

Together, we’ll recognise & cultivate the innate wisdom within each of us, embracing the complex and nuanced journey to healing.
