Send us a textPreverbal trauma can be hard to name because it often isn't stored as a clear story. In this episode, we explore how early experiences, which occur before language development, can shape the nervous system through implicit memory and felt sense. You'll learn why people can say “nothing happened” and still carry intense body reactions, relationship patterns, or shame responses that feel bigger than the moment. Using simple polyvagal-informed language, we'll look at how early safety is wired through connection, and what helps when the body remembers what the mind cannot. The episode ends with a varied, trauma-neutral grounding practice using senses and gentle movement.In this episode, you'll learnWhat preverbal trauma is (and what it isn't)How early experiences are stored as implicit memory and felt sense rather than narrativeWhy reactions can feel “irrational” when the origin happened before wordsA simple polyvagal lens on early wiring: safety & connection vs mobilised protection vs shutdownCommon adult patterns linked to early nervous system adaptation (non-diagnostic)Practical, gentle starting points: micro-doses of safety, co-regulation, body-first tools, repair over perfectionA varied grounding practice designed to be supportive for preverbal materialGrounding practice (2–3 minutes): “Senses + Support”Notice one point of contact (feet, back, hands)Name two soundsRest your eyes on one neutral colourGentle shoulder roll or press feet into the floorA soft phrase: “In this moment, I'm here” (or “safe enough” if it fits)Check the website for free resources available to both those affected by trauma and those supporting them.What's next?

Send us a text“Small t” and “big T” are common trauma terms meant to validate, but they can also trigger comparison, minimisation, or shame. In this episode, you'll learn what these labels usually mean, why they sometimes backfire, and how to replace ranking with a more compassionate, nervous-system-based framework. You'll also get a simple reframe list (cumulative, relational, chronic vs single-incident, acute) and a short grounding practice to help your system step out of comparison and back into the present.In this episode, you'll learnWhat people typically mean by big T and small t traumaWhy the “missing middle” matters (quiet, chronic, relational stress that still shapes the nervous system)How comparison keeps people stuck: “It wasn't bad enough” vs “I'm permanently damaged”A clearer alternative to ranking: impact + support + recoveryPolyvagal-informed understanding of why the nervous system doesn't rank events “on paper”A short, safe-for-most grounding practice focused on validation and present-moment safetyGentle remindersTrauma isn't a competition, and you don't need to justify your pain to deserve support.If you feel activated or numb while listening, that's a nervous system response; pause anytime.Check the website for free resources available to both those affected by trauma and those supporting them.What's nextNext episode: Before Words: Understanding Preverbal Trauma We'll explore how the body can carry trauma from experiences that happened before you had language and how to work with it gently.Support the show
Send us a textTrauma isn't only about what happened—it's about what happened inside your nervous system when an experience was too much, too fast, too soon, or too long, without enough support, choice, or protection. In this episode, we clarify what trauma is (and isn't), using simple, polyvagal-informed language—so you can replace shame and confusion with understanding. You'll also be guided through a short grounding practice you can use anytime.In this episode, you'll learnA clear, compassionate definition of trauma that goes beyond the “one big event” narrativeWhy two people can experience similar events and be impacted differentlyThe difference between stress and trauma (and why that matters)Why trauma responses are adaptations, not character flawsHow trauma can be remembered as sensations, triggers, and patterns—not just a storyA simple polyvagal lens: safety & connection, mobilised protection (fight/flight), and shutdown protectionA short, trauma-neutral grounding practice to support regulationGentle remindersTrauma is not a competition.

With this in mind, I'm taking a moment to honour her and the body of work I've created with this podcast - even though I'm not one to applaud my own accomplishments easily. For the coming season 16 and 17, I'm planing a whole set of episodes on the topic of trauma, starting with last week's episode on cultural grief following a traumatic event. Before we begin, a gentle content note: we'll be talking about trauma in general terms. There will be no graphic details. You don't have to push through any of the episodes. If you notice your body tightening, your breath changing, or your mind drifting away, that's not failure—that's your nervous system doing its job. You're allowed to pause, come back later, or choose a different episode. The intent is to educate, to inform and to support - both those affected and those supporting those who are. With that in mind, have a gentle day. Let you nervous system guide you. With Love, Nathalie Support the show

In her memoir Nightbird, Shavaun explores the devastating experience of her husband's revenge suicide, an act he carried out on the very day she told him she wanted a divorce. After 17 years in an abusive relationship, Shavaun was left not only with the trauma of a gruesome scene staged in her own home, but also with the complex emotional aftermath, grief not just for the loss of life, but for the relationship that never truly was. As a therapist herself, Shavaun offers a profound and nuanced perspective on the psychological toll of intimate partner abuse, the moral injuries of suicide, and the long road of healing. This is a powerful and honest conversation about trauma, survival, and the complicated nature of grief. About this week's guestShavaun has been a psychotherapist for nearly 35 years in Oregon and California in the US. Shavaun shares her passion for mental health and wellness through writing, speaking, and podcasting; she is the author of four books. While she has worked extensively with grief and trauma, she has also experienced it in multiple ways throughout her life. She lost her mother when she was 16, her father when she was 35, and her previous husband of 17 years died by suicide in 2004. Shavaun now lives and works from her home in the forest in Portland, Oregon, which she shares with her husband and a houseful of beloved animals.www.shavaunscott.com www.instagram.com/shavaunscott/Support the show

She's here today to talk about her latest book, The Joy Reset, a groundbreaking and deeply compassionate guide that takes the powerful tools of positive psychology and adapts them for those of us who have lived through trauma. Joy, she reminds us, isn't about toxic positivity or forced gratitude. It's about finding light in the dark, one gritty, bite-sized moment at a time.In this book, she explores why joy can feel so elusive after trauma—and how we can gently reclaim it. Through neurobiological insights, real-life examples, and actionable practices, MC gives us a new framework to understand hope, gratitude, and resilience—not as fluffy ideals, but as essential, hard-won emotional tools for healing.About this week's guestMary Catherine (MC) McDonald, PhD, is a research professor and life coach who specializes in the psychology of trauma, stress, and resilience. She has been researching, lecturing, and publishing on the neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience of trauma and stress for over a decade.

In this episode Mary-Frances is back to speak about her second book The Grieving Body. So I'm very excited today to be speaking with Mary-Frances again, neuroscientist to find out even more about the science behind grief and all that Mary-Frances and her colleagues have researched in their lab. About this week's guestMary-Frances O'Connor, PhD is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Arizona, where she directs the Grief, Loss and Social Stress (GLASS) Lab. Her research focuses on the physiological correlates of emotion, in particular, the wide range of physical and emotional responses during bereavement, including yearning and isolation. She believes that a clinical science approach toward the experience and mechanisms of grieving can improve interventions for prolonged grief disorder, newly included in the revised DSM-5.

About this week's guestKatherine Lazar currently lives in Atlanta, GA in the US and is married to the love of her life, Brody's dad, Michael. When she was 37 weeks pregnant, her precious son died and was stillborn. The sorrow following his death almost killed her. Conversations with other loss moms saved her. She decided to record them and put them out for others to hear. If they helped her feel less alone, maybe they could help others. She's so proud to have created this in Brody's honor and to give other mothers a platform to talk about their babies. At the time of recording this episode, they were expecting their second child, and navigating the world of pregnancy after loss is a whole new battle. However, Katherine has spent a lot of time putting in the work with grief therapy & trauma recovery, surrounding herself with good people, having a great support system, and amazing doctors this time around. She feels ready for whatever comes her way. She misses her son every day and knows that she will see him again someday. Until then, she will continue to tell her story, be very open about her journey, and help other loss mothers find light in the dark.Support the show

In our conversation, we look back over almost 30 years since the death of her daughter, a decade since speaking about Jenna's death, to when we worked on the book Surviving My First Year of Child Loss in 2017, to now, 10 years later. Her nine-year-old daughter Janna died over the Fourth of July weekend in 1997, when Tamara was driving to a friend's home. The car hydroplaned and collided with another car, killing Janna.Tamara became isolated in her grief and felt people had turned away from her. She responded by writing a poem about the importance of hugs:If You See MeIf you see me, do not run . . .I know that talk is not much fun.I know your hearts are sure to tug,But all I need is just a hug.After her poem was published in the local paper, many people approached her, saying they'd read it, and then hugged her.Sixteen years later, in 2013, Tamara started Healing Hugs. This nonprofit organisation assists with funeral-related services or other expenses. For example, when Tamara learned that, for a number of complicated reasons, a child did not yet have a headstone, she offered to provide one for his grave.About this week's guestTamara Gabriel is a massage therapist. She works with her husband, who is a psychiatrist in his medical clinic. They've been together for 23 years, married for 19, they are happily married and living in Arizona, a dream they've always looked forward to together.Support the showFind support: Offers - free and paid Support the show: Become a supporter of the show!
