When healing from trauma, we have to unlearn something old before we can learn something new. In our sixth episode, we dive into the concept of “unintegration” — the place where we begin to dismantle the old protections we’ve held onto as we move forward in the cycle of healing. 

In our fifth episode, we talk about how to build a base camp for your team that taps into your collective values and strengths, giving you access to your resources. Base camp is the place where you find your solid footing — where you become aware of the internal and external resources you have to meet the demands coming at you.

In our fourth episode, we dive into the concept of “base camp” and how individuals and teams can build personal base camps that tap into your values and strengths, giving you access to your resources.

In our third episode, we talk about the Preparation Phase of healing from trauma and how we can best set ourselves up for the work ahead — including intentionally leaning into our strengths, preparing for difficult conversations, and gathering the support we need. We’ll also dive into the three types of resilience, and how resilience isn’t about “surviving at all costs” — it’s a set of reserves to draw on when you need it most.

In this episode of Leading Through Trauma, Carolyn and Gretchen dive into the 5-phase cycle of healing repeated trauma, a transformative and highly actionable model that Gretchen developed in her book Journey Through Trauma.
