On this incredibly important topic, Britt describes that sharing our story in the presence of a compassionate and skilful witness can be incredibly powerful medicine for healing trauma.⁣

AND…⁣
⁣
From a nervous system perspective, telling a story the way it happened chronologically can further install the traumatic narrative in the brain and make symptoms worse.⁣

In this episode Britt shares with us what usually happens when a trauma narrative is told in order and gives really clear guidance on what to do instead.

We talk about:

• Euphoric Recall and Traumatic Recall
• Telling stories in a healing way vs a re-traumatising way
• Dissociation as a helpful coping mechanism
• Setting the structure for sharing stories in a skillful way
• Tools to use if you’re an over-sharer
• A great question to ask the group leader if you’re thinking of joining a women’s circle
