The Reclamation Room: Coaching, Boundaries, and Healing After Narcissistic Abuse

How Trauma Warps Your Sense of Time (and 3 Ways to Start Healing It)


Listen Later

In this episode of The Reclamation Room, I’m talking about something called chronotrauma: the way trauma messes with our sense of time. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the past, trapped or restless in the present, or like future dreams might not even exist for you, you’re not alone. That’s what chronotrauma feels like.

The good news is, our brains are designed for change! Healing really is possible. And it doesn’t take giant leaps- it takes small, steady steps that add up over time.

Here’s what we’ll get into:

  • How trauma can distort the way we experience past, present, and future

  • What it looks like to actually map out your timeline for clarity

  • Simple tools to anchor yourself in the present when you feel stuck

  • Why resilience builds slowly, and why that’s a good thing

If you’ve ever wondered why time feels different after trauma, or how to reclaim your timeline so you can move forward, this one’s for you. 💛
