In todays episode, Alison is solo but discussing a topic that rings close to home for her - the connection between anxiety and trauma. Alison shares her own traumatic experiences and emphasizes that trauma is a personal experience. She then explores the trauma response of hyperarousal, hypervigilance, avoidance behaviors, difficulty regulating emotions, intrusive thoughts and memories, and heightened sensitivity to distress.
Healing Tip of the Week
Create a Safe Space for Healing: If you notice your anxiety is linked to past trauma, dedicate time each day to a calming ritual. This could be a quiet meditation, journaling your thoughts, or practicing gentle yoga. The key is to create a consistent, safe space where you can process emotions without judgment. Over time, this practice can help soothe your nervous system and reduce anxiety triggers. Healing takes time, so be gentle with yourself. 🌱
