The Top 3 Things Trauma Therapy Has Taught Me So Far
This week on Calling in Sick, I’m pulling back the curtain on something I’ve never really talked about in depth: trauma therapy. Not wellness aesthetic therapy. Not “journal and manifest” therapy. Real, gritty, life-interrupting trauma therapy.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
🧠 What trauma therapy actually is — and why I started
⚠️ Why I was afraid when life started to feel… good
💊 How my mindset has changed on medical trauma & how it affects my daily life
🛑 If I think trauma therapy is financially, physically and emotionally worth it
From childhood illness to hospital PTSD, I’ve carried more “little t” trauma, or what I thought was “little t” trauma, than I realized… and trauma therapy has helped me stop minimizing it. This isn’t a step-by-step guide or a promise of a fix. It’s just me, sharing what I’ve learned so far. So whether you’re considering therapy, afraid to open that door, or deep in your own healing arc — this episode is for you. Sending my love, as always!
xx,
Alex
