Ep.23 | Trauma 101: What is Trauma? Relational Trauma + How to Become More Trauma-Informed in Your Work with Resilience and Self-Trust Coach, Lindsay Tauscher
What is Trauma? | Different Types of Trauma | Relational Trauma | Trauma-Informed | Perfectionism | Self-Concept | Authenticity
We have been CRAVING an episode like this. A total deep dive into “Trauma 101”. With trauma healing, trauma work, and trauma awareness coming to the forefront of the collective, we thought it was important to take it back to the basics.
So often we all move forward with assumptions about things, without realizing we don’t know the foundations of them. SO, that’s what this episode is about, the core concepts of what trauma is, relational trauma, and how we can all start becoming more trauma-informed in our work.
….but don’t think we only talk about the surface-level definitions and explanations of this stuff. You know us better than that ;)
This episode is EXPLODING with true vulnerability and transparency, all wrapped together with Lindsay’s raw, honest, and genius perspective.
Lindsay’s work and journey are nothing short of inspirational and motivational. She’s diving deep into doing the work not only for herself but for her clients too. We all know that the world needs more healing, and she’s a beautiful example of how to do that in a way that’s both safe, and authentic.
We hope you enjoy this episode!
