In this episode, Naomi shares how trauma reshapes your nervous system and creates survival patterns like fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. You’ll learn how to heal your nervous system from trauma, calm the amygdala, and begin rebuilding safety through simple somatic tools like grounding, breathwork, and self-soothing.

⟡ TRY THIS PRACTICE:

• Ground: feet flat, press down, name three things you see, two you hear, one you feel. Say “I am safe.”

• Box breathe: inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4. Repeat.

• Havening touch: slow strokes on arms with gentle phrases like “You’re safe now.”

• Co-regulate: be with calm, grounded people or communities that hold safe space.

That voice inside that says you are not enough, that shames you for resting or making mistakes, it’s not random. Your inner critic was formed by the voices you grew up hearing: parents, teachers, culture, or community. For Naomi, it came from growing up in a cult where constant criticism and judgment became her inner soundtrack.

In this episode, Naomi shares how the critic develops as a survival mechanism, why it follows us into adulthood, and how to begin retraining it with compassion.

QUOTE OF THE EPISODE:

“One of the most powerful and painful truths about healing is realizing that the voice that criticizes you the loudest often isn’t yours. It’s an echo.”

TO ASK YOURSELF GENTLY:

When my inner critic speaks, whose voice is it echoing? And what new, compassionate truth do I choose to speak to myself instead?

Breaking generational trauma is not only about stopping the pain. It is also about learning to give yourself what you did not get as a child. In this episode, Naomi talks about how to reparent your inner child and why this step is key when breaking old cycles.

She explains how childhood trauma responses in adults, like people-pleasing, overworking, or staying in toxic relationships, are often signs of repressed childhood trauma stored in the body. Reparenting is how you begin to heal your nervous system from trauma and create safety inside yourself.

For so many of us, strength was taught all wrong. We grew up hearing “toughen up, stop crying, don’t be the victim”. We learned to swallow our feelings, armor up, and carry everything in silence. But that’s not a strength. That’s survival.

In this episode, Naomi Sparks unpacks how childhood trauma responses in adults often show up as silence, suppression, and self-abandonment. She shares her own story of being raised in a cult where emotions weren’t safe, and how she had to relearn that real strength is softness, vulnerability, and asking for help.

How has social media or the world around me made me feel like I’m not enough?

When you’ve spent years in survival mode, slowing down can feel scary. You’ve been on high alert for so long that when things finally get quiet, you don’t always recognise yourself.

She shares her own story of peeling back the layers that were built to protect her, and how she slowly found the version of herself that’s rooted in freedom instead of fear.

You’ll learn how to start reconnecting with yourself in small ways, notice the moments that spark joy or peace, and handle it when people push back against your growth.
