When we're not fully in touch with our bodies or become avoidant to our experiences we can ignore the signs and impact of trauma and stressful related experiences. While it's important to have healthy-related stress and pressure, it can be detrimental to ignore signs and symptoms of trauma and emotional distress. In this podcast session I will go over how trauma and stress can reflect an emotional and physical imbalance.

My name is Tanya, trauma survivor, Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher, Coach, and Facilitator.

This podcast is brought to you for inspiration, healing, and tips on living life after trauma.

In this episode, I take you on a journey of recent outpatient surgery. I describe how this experience brought emotions of shame and past guilt I carried in reflection of my physical sacred space. I also ask important questions that you can explore regarding your own body. This is an opportunity to journal your own path from body trauma to body positivity.

In this episode, we discuss trauma responses Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn. I describe what early onset dynamics look like and how the response plays out into adulthood accompanied with the inner child within relationships or the workplace. Then, what steps are needed to heal this part of ourselves.

*Psychotherapist Peter Walker coined the "Fawn" trauma response due to complex trauma.

The need for safety has been a top priority for individuals and families around the globe. The year 2020 has shown us how precious and valuable our time, relationships, and what and who we allow within our circle. Most importantly why we must protect our space, our bodies, mental peace, truths, finances, and businesses.

Today we look at the relationship between safety & security after trauma.

What does it mean to feel secure?

In what ways have you or your valuable time, relationships, space, bodies, mental peace, truths, finances, rights, and business/hobbies have experienced a sense of disruption, violation, or trauma?

Causes of insecurity.

When difficult experiences or trauma happens, it is critical that we create a space that is healthy for them to be vulnerable. Sometimes experiences can allow us to become closed off and isolated. To avoid this from happening, we want to develop 5 key skills when speaking to our children when trauma or difficult experiences happen. Not just to them, but to others.

Mister Rogers

“If we don’t let children know it’s okay to feel sad and scared, they may think something is wrong with them when they do feel that way,”

Codependency partnerships or family dynamics can follow behind traumatic experiences. This toxic one-sided behavior can cause both parties to feel incapable of growing outside the restricted bond. Both parties can have an obsessive need to be validated, reliant, and approval of the other person. The relationship or partnership is easily characterized as unhealthy and can sometimes lead to physical or emotional abuse. In this episode, we will explore some of the signs you could potentially be in a codependent relationship.

Being a victim of a traumatic experience can be devastating and life-changing. Staying hostage in a victim mindset however can become even more challenging. In this episode, we discuss how you can remove yourself from being a victim of your trauma experiences. Grab something to write with and write on and let's get started!
