See this content in the original post

In this episode we chat about what trauma is, how it impacts us, why it's important to be trauma-informed in the women's health space, how I work with it, and more!

We explore what happens in the body and the somatic experience when trauma is present, and the relationship between female sex hormones and trauma physiology.

I also explain why I decided to study trauma, and trauma-informed therapeutic practices and coaching.

We chatted about:

  • What trauma is

  • How trauma impacts us

  • Survival responses

  • Trauma physiology for women and people with menstrual cycles

  • My personal journey with trauma

  • Somatic experiencing

  • Systemic trauma and social justice

  • Safety and trauma
