The Empowered Athlete

How Trauma Influences Aggression in JiuJitsu: Part 1


Listen Later

In part 1 of this 2-part series, I dive into the psychology of why some athletes struggle being aggressive — using a trauma-lens perspective. This episode will help you understand why you haven’t been able to “turn it on” in training or competition, while also giving you some self-healing tools to shift and activate your inner power. Essentially, by the end of the episode, you will have more clarity in why you're not aggressive and how to overcome it.


What You'll Learn:

  • The definition of aggression
  • The energy flow of aggression
  • An overview of the 4 main trauma responses 
  • How trauma can cause us to repress our aggressive nature
  • Why you struggle “turning on” your aggression
  • How withholding aggression can inhibit your progress
  • Tools to help you heal and repair your relationship with aggression
  • Invitation to apply to the Empowered Athlete Academy for Jan 2024
