Almost Awakened

Unmasking Trauma: What It Really Is and How We Heal [Almost Awakened 185]


Listen Later

You’ve heard the word ‘trauma’—but do you really know what it means? In this powerful and eye-opening episode, we break down the truth about trauma: not just the dramatic events, but the subtle, often invisible wounds that live in our bodies, shape our behavior, and distort how we see the world.

We explore:
*What trauma actually is (hint: it’s not the event itself)?
*Why trauma is more common than most people think?
*The crucial difference between “Big T” and “little t” trauma!
*How unresolved trauma hides in perfectionism, people-pleasing, anxiety, and chronic pain?
*The science of how trauma rewires the brain and nervous system!
*And most importantly—how we can heal, rewire, and grow from it!

Whether you’re on your own healing path, supporting someone else, or simply want to understand yourself and others better—this episode is for you.

You’re not broken. You’re responding exactly the way a nervous system responds to pain. And there’s a way forward.
