Send us a textWhat happens when we approach our emotional wounds with genuine curiosity instead of judgment? In this soul-stirring conversation with licensed therapist Ruth Tessema, we journey through the landscape of complex trauma and discover powerful paths toward healing and transformation.Ruth, a trauma specialist whose work blends traditional therapy with holistic approaches like somatic healing and breathwork, shares profound insights about how our bodies store memories that our minds have forgotten. When Ruth reveals that her own work in school settings triggered her nervous system without her conscious awareness, we witness the mysterious ways trauma operates beneath the surface of our daily lives.The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as we explore morning anxiety, vivid dreams, and physical symptoms of CPTSD. Ruth explains how the body's fight-or-flight responses continue long after traumatic experiences end, creating patterns that feel impossible to escape. Yet within this challenge lies remarkable hope—our neurological systems can be rewired through compassionate attention and consistent safety-building practices.Perhaps most revealing is our exploration of blended family dynamics and how they can activate our deepest childhood wounds. When stepchildren trigger unexpected jealousy or resentment, it's often our own inner child crying out for nurturing. The breakthrough comes in recognizing these moments as opportunities for healing rather than sources of shame."What's familiar about this situation?" emerges as the golden question—a doorway into understanding our triggers through the lens of compassionate curiosity. By embracing both gentleness and firm boundaries with ourselves, we can parent the wounded parts that still live within us.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by emotional responses that seem disproportionate, struggled with anxiety that hijacks your mornings, or found yourself reacting to loved ones in ways you don't understand, this conversation offers not just insight but a roadmap for transformation. Your capacity for healing isn't just possible—it's already wired within you, waiting to be awakened.Follow Ruth on Instagram HERE.

Hey, Sister-friend

Ever found yourself reacting strongly to something, even when it seems like “no big deal”? Or maybe, in a tense moment, you freeze or shut down instead of reacting? If you're a parent of a struggling teen, be it addiction, mental health struggles, suicidal ideation  or a different struggle, you've probably felt your own heart skip a beat more times than you can count. Today, I talk with trauma therapist Sarah Allen about why we sometimes overreact (or shut down) in response to certain triggers and how it all comes down to our bodies trying to protect us.Sarah breaks down the idea that trauma doesn't just live in the mind - it lives in the body. Even when our heads know “things are okay,” our nervous systems might still be on high alert, especially if we've been through overwhelming experiences with our kids in the past. It's that part of us that steps in to make sure we don't go through that kind of pain again. But sometimes, this automatic response can show up as a jolt of panic, a wave of anger, or even a complete shutdown.As parents, we're human too. And with the right tools and support, we can navigate our own responses, even when this journey with our kids takes us through some incredibly challenging terrain.In this episode on understanding trauma responses in parents of struggling teens, we explore:Why our bodies sometimes react before our minds even have a chance;How trauma can make it hard to know what's truly safe or dangerous;What over- and under-responses look like as a parent of a struggling teen in treatment or recovery;How to bring self-compassion to the way we show up, even if it's not perfect;Different therapeutic approaches, including tips for finding the right fit for you or your family;And much more!Need support?

The podcast delves into the sensitive yet crucial topic of supporting survivors of sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation through various therapeutic approaches, including: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), trauma therapy, case management, and peer support programs.

The Healing Action Network's commitment to providing free, evidence-based care and the importance of trauma-informed support systems are highlighted, along with the organization's efforts to extend services to all gender identities and rural areas through telehealth. The episode concludes with expressions of gratitude and a call for listeners to share and review the content.[00:00] Introduction and Content Warning[00:34] Meet the Hosts and Show Overview[01:23] Return to Civility: Welcoming New Neighbors[01:58] Introducing the Guests and Their Backgrounds[04:13] Understanding Healing Action Network[05:32] Exploring Trauma Therapy and EMDR[11:36] The Brain and Trauma Responses[20:49] PTSD vs. Complex PTSD[25:13] The Growth of EMDR and Healing Action's Holistic Approach[25:38] Introduction to Healing Action and Its Founder[25:52] The Role of EMDR in Trauma Therapy[26:29] Break and Sponsor Messages[28:44] Welcome Back: Discussing Sensitive Topics[29:09] Understanding EMDR Therapy[29:44] The Duration and Process of EMDR[30:24] Building Trust and Safety in Therapy[31:31] Group Therapy and Continuity of Care[32:51] Accessibility and Free Services at Healing Action[33:55] Case Studies and Success Stories[37:34] Therapists' Self-Care and Team Support[39:05] Encouraging Words for Survivors[42:46] Expanding Therapy Programs to Rural Areas[43:18] Conclusion and Final ThoughtsLinks referenced in this episode:healingaction.orgdredscottlives.orgHome - CATEHealing Action Network YouTubeHealing Action Network FacebookHome - Healing Action NetworkThis is Season 7!

Hello, my lovely smarticle particles!

Send us a textTrauma responses are very real, and very challenging for us as humans.Especially if you are judging yourself for experiencing them.Today I am talking about how trauma shows up in our lives, including in ourselves and people around us. We'll talk about seeing trauma as “too much, too fast,” and often with too little support/resources, and the ways that can manifest in your life.As promised, here are some resources that you can explore:EMDR and Brain-Spotting are 2 therapeutic modalities, commonly performed by trained Therapists that help to get to wiring in the sympathetic nervous system, and help to dampen these responses to triggers.Irest (https://shop.irest.org/) and Yoga Nidra (find many versions of this online) are other somatic therapies that can be helpful to address sympathetic nervous system over-activation, and help people to heal. https://shop.irest.org/Internal Family Systems (“parts” work) is a talk-therapy modality that explores why different parts of us “take over,” in response to events, and can be very helpful for trauma.Friend of the show and past guest, Dr Christy Gibson (Episode 120, June 8 2024 “Is Burnout Really Trauma”), also has a wonderful book, “The Modern Trauma Toolkit,” where she shares helpful resources and practices, including havening, which can be used for brief and rapid intervention,  including in the middle of a busy day. Here's our episode: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1957629/episodes/15135760Each of us can develop recurrent trauma responses related to the very real experience of caring for ailing humans with too little resources (too little back-up, support staff, equipment, rest/breaks, etc). Let go of judgment, and get the help that you need to feel healed. Support the showTo learn more about my coaching practice and group offerings, head over to www.healthierforgood.com.

An emergency situation while hiking on the Appalachian Trail resulted in an extremely normal trauma response from me. Realizing the correlations between this trauma response and my past trauma responses to covert narcissism opened my eyes. My responses to trauma are normal responses! I'm not broken. I'm not over-reactive. These situations with a covert narcissist have been traumatic, and my system responded accordingly. I hope this personal story helps you to make the same connections in your journey of healing. I am Renee Swanson, and I help people recover from covert narcissistic abuse. Are you tired of feeling isolated and alone?  Are you searching for people who get it?  Are you confused, reactive and unsure what to do?  Are you running in circles in your mind? Are you worried for your kids and the effect this is having on them?  Do you want to know how not to raise another narcissist in this world? I can help you!

Breakdown to Breakthrough with Lisa A. Romano  4 Odd Trauma Responses Your Body Holds Onto In this insightful episode, Lisa A. Romano explores how unhealed trauma responses can remain stuck in the body, manifesting as physical symptoms that often go unnoticed or misunderstood. Lisa discusses four unusual trauma responses that may be affecting you more than you realize: Tightness in the Belly: This common response is often linked to unresolved fear or anxiety, stemming from past traumatic experiences. The body holds onto this tension, signaling that something remains unresolved. Freaking Out When Things Start Going Well: For many, success or happiness triggers a fear response. This reaction is rooted in the belief that good things won't last, leading to self-sabotage or overwhelming anxiety just when life starts to improve. Mistaking Thinking for Feeling: Trauma can disconnect you from your emotions, leading you to rely heavily on thinking rather than truly feeling. This can create a barrier to emotional healing, as the mind takes over what the heart needs to process. Pursed Lips or Tightness in the Face, Neck, and Jaw: Chronic tension in these areas physically manifests suppressed emotions, particularly anger or frustration. This response can become habitual, reflecting unexpressed feelings stuck in the body. Lisa delves into how these physical responses are not just quirks but signals from your body that something deeper needs attention. By recognizing and understanding these trauma responses, you can heal the mind-body connection, release stored tension, and move towards a more balanced, authentic self.

In this episode, Dr. Natalie Lancer and Julia Vaughan Smith, Kate Brassington, and Jenny Rogers, explore the nuances of trauma-informed coaching. The panel give thought to the complexities and responsibilities involved in trauma-informed coaching, discussing the internal dynamics of trauma, its influence on coaching practices, and the importance of sensitivity to clients' experiences. The conversation covers the distinctions between coaching and therapy, ethical considerations, and the skills necessary for trauma-informed coaching, such as presence, attunement, and reflective practice. The importance of safeguarding, establishing boundaries, and self-care for coaches is also addressed. We consider: What is trauma and how can we recognise it in our coaching practice? What are the reasons why clients seek trauma-informed coaching? What are the benefits for the client of working with a trauma-informed coach? Where is the overlap between coaching and therapy in addressing trauma-related issues? How can we address trauma in coaching? What are the core qualities and skills needed to coach in a trauma-informed way? How can we train to become a more trauma-informed coach? Do self-care and supervision look different for trauma-informed coaches? How should we contract appropriately for client safety? What are the risks, safe-guards and limits of trauma-informed coaching? In what ways can coaching contribute to trauma healing? Our experts shared their approaches to working with trauma in coaching, for example, understanding clients' backstories without explicitly using the term “trauma”. Trauma can be subtly present in coaching sessions, even when clients may not explicitly seek help for trauma-related issues. Trauma-informed coaching helps clients process trauma in the present and integrate their experiences in safe ways through creating a trusting environment where they feel heard and understood.  Our guests today are: Jenny Rogers is a leader in a new approach to coaching which combines insights from psychotherapy with the pragmatic emphasis on change, drawing on a career in coaching spanning three decades. She works with senior clients in the law, medicine, finance, healthcare, performing arts and media who typically face a major transition in their lives.

She is the author of a number of books including ‘Coaching and Trauma', ‘Therapist to Coach', and ‘Daughters: How to Untangle Yourself from Your Mother', exploring the impact of developmental and ancestral trauma on this relationship and how to become untangled. Kate Brassington is a Coaching Psychologist (GMBPsS) and PCC ICF-certified Trauma Informed Coach who researches applied coaching strategies. She has published her research on resilience training for people in high-risk occupations.

Click here to join the 7 Day Conscious Love Challenge Click here to apply for Private Coaching with Shane   If you've experienced patterns of unfulfilling love in your life, this episode will offer you some important insight.  When we are looking for love, we are often tuning into subtle cues that reflect our past pain.  Believe it or not, this is often what generates our attraction to people. Sometimes, we are not seeking fulfilling love but rather we are seeking someone with whom we can play out these past patterns, someone who will create in us the familiar feelings of loss or longing that we've known throughout our lives.  Unconsciously, we associate these feelings with love and when we meet someone who doesn't create these feelings in us, the resulting experience is a lack of attraction or interest. In this episode, I'm explaining the subconscious dynamics of how this operates and sharing practical steps you can take to heal this. Thanks for listening, lots of love, Shane 

"I forgive myself and I'm just gonna pick up again today.""My old patterns are back!! Aaaaaaarrggghh! What do I do??"Bestie, chill!!

“The way you see money is about the way you see yourself and your lived experiences.”  Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon Ever find yourself saying things like "all money is not good money?" If you've said this, you might be experiencing a trauma response to money. According to Google, Money Trauma is defined this way: a term that describes emotional, cognitive, relational, and physical symptoms that can result from significant financial stressors. Some examples of money trauma include poverty, financial co-dependency, divorce, sudden loss of assets, housing insecurity, money scarcity, caregivers who valued work more than family time, caregivers who taught that money success was the only worthy metric of success.    The truth is money, which is a tool, medium of exchange and transactional energetic expression is neutral - it is neither good or bad. But, based on your experiences and what you have been taught to believe you might think is bad or evil and as a result experience what some call money trauma. According to Google, Money Trauma is defined this way: a term that describes emotional, cognitive, relational, and physical symptoms that can result from significant financial stressors. Some examples of money trauma include poverty, financial co-dependency, divorce, sudden loss of assets, housing insecurity, money scarcity, caregivers who valued work more than family time, caregivers who taught that money success was the only worthy metric of success.    When I first became an entrepreneur, I used to hear constantly “entrepreneurs solve problems for profit.”  The challenge for me back then was that I hadn't ever experienced profit.  I was born in lack to lack-minded drug addicts and when given a chance to have my own money, the lack I was born into seeped into my own money management. It took filing bankruptcy and the bankruptcy trustee requiring that I take a financial literacy course where I was exposed to Happy Pocket Full of Money by David Cameron Gikandi.  That book changed my life and the way I saw money and therefore myself.  It was the beginning of my journey to heal my money traumas and the subsequent trauma responses that are quips and axioms used by most of the people you know every day without understanding the real consequences of speaking such things over themselves. Literally one year after filing bankruptcy, I was a millionaire and a few years later I was running a million-dollar business.  Today, I am a proud, unapologetic multi-millionaire running a multi-million-dollar company. While I am not a mental health professional and I do not play one on TV, it is my hope that this episode spurs a desire in you to determine which trauma responses you're believing and living so that you can disrupt the pattern and shift your life and business around money.  Let's be clear: money matters.  It's hard to be the change when you don't have any.  And until lack to loosens its grip on your conscious and subconscious mind, beliefs, thoughts and actions, you will mess with your money and that will make it challenging to achieve your goal to make the move to millions. In this episode, we get into the meaning of a lack/poverty mindset, which for the record is not about how much money you actually have.  It's about how you relate to money.  I have seen wealthy people experience trauma responses that stops its money from doing what it was created to do – flow and create more. If you are ready to confront the casual covenants you make with money so that you can invite more into your life and business, grab your Move to Millions Podcast notebook and listen in to discover: The 4 Money Personalities and how they impact how you relate to money A simple formula for forgiveness around money related traumas Actionable insights into what you can do now to experience a powerful shift Why many of the things you say about money is impacting how much money flows to you And so much more Powerful Quotes During the Episode: "Spending behaviors are often influenced by an individual's upbringing and beliefs about money." - Darnyelle Jervey Harmon "Spenders seek validation through extravagant possessions and equate them with self-worth." - Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “Avoiders are uncomfortable with money details and may not track their financial status." - Darnyelle Jervey Harmon Money monks are generous but struggle with their own self-worth, often raised in environments where money is viewed negatively." - Darnyelle Jervey Harmon Self-reflection is crucial to recognize and shift one's money personality and mindset." - Darnyelle Jervey Harmon "The subconscious mind influences money beliefs and patterns based on early experiences." - Darnyelle Jervey Harmon "Beliefs like 'all money is not good money' and 'I just need enough' can be trauma responses impacting one's relationship with money." - Darnyelle Jervey Harmon "Valuing oneself and charging what one deserves is essential in business." - Darnyelle Jervey Harmon "Trauma responses can manifest as resistance to investing in oneself or feeling undeserving of financial abundance." - Darnyelle Jervey Harmon "It's important to review and release money traumas, activate a multimillion-dollar vision, and shift tolerance and capacity." - Darnyelle Jervey Harmon "Rewire the money blueprint, release money patterns from cellular memory, and embody an energy of abundance." - Darnyelle Jervey Harmon "Common money blocks include unworthiness, lack mindset, fear of abandonment, fear of success, and unforgiveness." - Darnyelle Jervey Harmon "Forgiveness is crucial in unblocking the flow of money to experience abundance." - Darnyelle Jervey Harmon "Millions are your birthright and can be accessed through movement." - Darnyelle Jervey Harmon Resources Mentioned: Move to Millions by Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon – Get Your Copy Companion Guide for Move to Millions – Download for a detailed overview of the seven systems to seven figures.

“Effects of Sexual Trauma Experiencing sexual abuse puts individuals at risk of experiencing long-term effects from their trauma. In children, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) like sexual trauma can contribute to chronic health problems, mental illness, and substance misuse in adulthood.6 These challenges can also negatively impact their ability to pursue education, job opportunities, and personal growth. Negative Coping Strategies People may develop negative coping strategies in response to sexual trauma. Some may engage in ‘numbing' tactics like substance use, disordered eating, and self-harm. Others may dissociate to disconnect from their bodies or external surroundings. Self-isolation or avoiding trauma triggers are additional examples of unhealthy coping patterns. Physical Symptoms Sexual trauma can coincide with various somatic experiences that range in severity. Some of the physical effects of sexual assault include sexual dysfunction (vaginal pain, erectile dysfunction, limited to no libido), acute or chronic pain, muscle tightness, gastrointestinal distress, headaches, and panic attacks. Difficulty Going Back to Normal Life Readjusting to daily life after experiencing trauma can be challenging as survivors may have difficulty in their relationships, returning to work or school, and regaining a sense of normalcy and identity. They may also experience sexual anxiety, as even healthy sexual experiences may trigger flashbacks of their trauma.6 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) PTSD from sexual abuse can occur with either an immediate or delayed onset. Hallmark symptoms include ruminating thoughts about the abuse, flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and intense feelings of shame or guilt. Not everyone who experiences sexual trauma will develop PTSD, but a lack of support, poor coping skills, and complex trauma can increase the risk. Relationship Difficulties Sexual trauma triggers can seep into everyday life, and they may become more pronounced in intimate relationships. For example, some people find being emotionally or physically vulnerable with another person challenging. They may struggle to trust others due to a past history of betrayal. Similarly, they might present as either overly guarded or permissive with partners. Mental Health Conditions Sexual trauma is a risk factor for numerous mental health conditions, including anxiety, substance use disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, and dissociative disorders. Sexual trauma itself likely does not single-handedly cause these conditions. However, the unresolved effects can result in significant distress, leading to subsequent issues. Loss of Self The emotional effects of sexual assault can erode an internal sense of safety and chip away at core values. Some people report a deep hollowness after experiencing or processing trauma. These feelings may speak to the intense fear, anger, and helplessness that can emerge after such a life-threatening event. Emotional Dysregulation Emotional dysregulation is often a product of feeling powerless and unsafe after significant events, including sexual trauma. Emotional dysregulation can include problems expressing emotions, intense and sudden mood swings, and lashing out. Some people may also struggle with self-destructive behaviors or suicidal thoughts. Depersonalization & Derealization Depersonalization refers to feeling detached from the body or inner thoughts. Similarly, derealization is a disconnect from the outside world, where the external environment may feel foggy, dreamlike, or otherwise distorted. Both are aspects of dissociation, and they may exist together or separately in response to experiencing sexual trauma.” -Choosing Therapy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

They dive deep into how survival mode messes with your choices and digs into your subconscious, pushing you to move in ways you didn't even know you could. But it's not all about the big drama. They break down how even the small stuff piles up, showing us that trauma isn't just about the headline-worthy moments.

Whew...this eclipse energy must be getting to me. If you made it through the episode, I apologize for all the F bombs! It is an intense topic though & I got pretty fired up. Trauma responses. What are they? Trauma responses are described as survival mechanism to help us react quickly to life-threatening situations. They arise as a result of early life exposure to these events creating an almost auto pilot mode that individuals enter into under great distress or upset.On this Identify & Heal solo episode, I put my therapist hat and and share with a spiritual lens what the 4 trauma responses are, how they develop and present in individuals, and how we can begin to identify them when they show up. I then describe how we can begin to shift to a more Divine Feminine healthy and balanced response. I offer examples as well as personal examples of trauma responses and share encouragment for how to navigate them.

*TRIGGER WARNING! We do discuss eating disorders in this episode. On this weeks episode of Do the Work podcast, Sabrina is joined by her big sister Jaimie Bailey for a heart-to-heart talk on trauma and its manifestation in her relationship with food. Jaimie is a holistic nutritionist passionate about wellness and a healthy relationship with food and diet and she has her own indoor cycling studio in San Diego called Grindhouse Cycle.  Jaimie talks about how trauma initially manifested itself with her and her fixation on tiny details about herself. Her older brother's addictions began to influence her choices and her addiction to the high. Her household environment was hostile and lacked joy, so her feeling of joy was tied to substances. It also led to the avoidant attachment style because of coping alone and the lack of trust in others to protect her.  Jaimie shares her experiences with body shape changes in high school and while living in New York. She lost weight through healthy lifestyle changes, but her home environment led to her experiencing body dysmorphia. Jaimie realizes that her relationship with food has been influenced by her need to be numb and avoid addressing her unresolved inner child issues.  Her now partner, Ashton, supported her during her relapses of indulging in food over the years. Her discovery of a holistic nutrition program introduced a new way of looking at food as a source of anxiety. Jaimie reflects on how working with her clients is like turning pain into purpose, yet she sometimes feels like an imposter because of shame. The susceptibility to relapse is there; she had to figure out how to make peace with it all daily.  However, at the end of the day, her radical acceptance of her addictions helps her to be fully present for her clients. Her current approach to food is to consider all the factors that affect her relationship with it and whether each meal will provide her with the necessary energy. The first step in dealing with a problem like binge eating is understanding why it is happening. Once you have this understanding, you can decide to rise above it and prevent it from happening again.   Check out Grindhouse cycle in Encinitas CA and take Jaimies class HERE!

Real Talk on Health Challenges: Speaking FOR Your Parts vs. Speaking FROM Your Parts   Jen and I talk about the difference between complaining, speaking honestly about what's going on, and the other person's capacity to sit with things that they may feel they need to fix or change. Many of you have been told that you complain too much or that you're too negative. Neurodivergent brains tend to report the truth, and we are very discerning about what we like and what we don't like. This can be perceived as negativity, complaining or being depressing to be around. What if it really wasn't about you?   CO-HOST Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC   HIGHLIGHTS Summary   In this conversation, Patricia and Jen discuss the difference between complaining and sharing honestly about personal struggles. They explore the challenges of navigating conversations around difficult topics and the importance of holding space for each other's experiences. They also delve into the healing process and the acceptance of trauma, emphasizing the need to honor and validate our own emotions. The conversation highlights the significance of checking intentions and capacity in communication, as well as the transformative power of being in relationship with our experiences. In this conversation, Jen and Patricia discuss the importance of speaking from a part versus speaking for a part. They explore the concept of unprocessed trauma and how it can affect communication. They also discuss the significance of acknowledging and balancing pain, as well as differentiating between acting from a part and speaking for a part. The conversation highlights the role of chaperoning the part and the importance of validating and witnessing pain. Finally, they find humor in the uncertainty of their podcast episodes.   Takeaways   Differentiate between complaining and sharing honestly about personal struggles. Hold space for each other's experiences and validate emotions. Accept and heal from trauma by being in relationship with our experiences. Check intentions and capacity in communication to ensure effective and compassionate conversations. It is important to speak from a part rather than speaking for a part. Unprocessed trauma can impact communication and lead to a desire for others to intuitively understand and fix our needs. Acknowledging and balancing pain can help in managing distressing emotions. Differentiating between acting from a part and speaking for a part can provide clarity in communication.

Topics covered include: self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you   CO-HOST BIO Jen Perry, MSEd, MA, LPC has been a psychotherapist for 20 years.

In my podcast, "Trauma Responses: How Your Brain/Body Creates Safety Strategies," I explore a fresh perspective on trauma. Picture this: you're in a car accident, no ambulance in sight, and you're left with a concussion and broken arms. There's no help, no explanations, and no tow truck for your damaged car. You face a choice: abandon your car or keep driving it as is. This scenario parallels moments in life when we experience emotional acceints like heartbreak, conflict, or abandonment. We move forward without support, no emotional "cast" or support, therapy, and no structured recovery plan. We adapt to the emotional wounds caused by these experiences. Just like the car accident, we can't change the past, but what truly matters is what we do next, addressing and nurturing our healing journey.   @coachkate1      ______________________________________________________________________________________ Sponser:  Experience Virtual Regenerative Medicine, dedicated to optimizing your health with Mission Med+.

Sponsor for the Episode Working homeschool mom, I know how overwhelming it can be to choose a math curriculum for your homeschool. That's why I'd like to tell you about the online math curriculum we've been using for years – CTCMath.com. As far as math curriculums go, it has loads of great features that solve lots of the math issues we've had and I know a lot of homeschooling families have. Here are a few of the features (from the many) that we really like: Questions are adaptive which means the interactive questions change in difficulty depending on the student's ability. They use a smart algorithm that tracks the student's progress and delivers questions based on their unique needs. The student doesn't even know this is happening, helping them to build confidence and master concepts! Concepts are delivered through video tutorials and summaries which are clear, complete, and easy to follow [like having your very own teacher]. This ensures your children understand something before they're asked to practise it. And then for us parents, CTCMath has: Extensive reports which are valuable in monitoring your child's progress and spotting any gaps. And they offer a 12-month money-back guarantee if this curriculum is not for you and your family. CTCMath will provide a full refund, no questions asked. But I think the most important things is a whole lot LESS stress when it's math time for both parents AND kids. You get to outsource math with confidence and your kids get a fantastic tailor-made programme that makes learning and mastering math enjoyable and positive.

Has your partner ever accused you of pulling away from the relationship? Of shutting down? Of being emotionally unavailable? Maybe you even feel that you are. Then you wonder if this is all your fault for not being engaged with them anymore. This is another example of reactive abuse or trauma response. My husband accused me of pulling away emotionally. I wanted to scream, Of course I'm pulling away! Even a child knows to pull away when they have been hurt over and over again. I was accused of not being emotionally available to him anymore. Of course I'm not! I had peeled open my heart and laid it at his feet repeatedly. And he had stomped all over it again and again. You want me to continue making myself available for that??? You can't be serious? Do you really not understand this? Can you really not see why I pull away? After all the attempts I made at explaining this to him, I could not believe that he could stand there and tell me that I should be more emotionally available to him! You have got to be kidding me! Shutting down is a normal and common trauma response to an abusive environment. Don't judge your responses. They are completely justified and understandable. Identify where they came from. An abusive environment. They are survival skills. But you don't need these survival skills in a safe environment. As you learn more about them, you will begin the process of letting them go.

Today I want to explore the four common responses people have when they have experienced or are experiencing something that is threatening or traumatic. In particular, I want to focus on the fawning response and how that relates to our view of and our relationship with God. Let's break down our responses of fight, flight, fawn, and freeze, and then destroy the false, abusive version of the God that we may have in our minds. Read the show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereIf you are a Christian woman who thinks you may be in an emotionally destructive marriage, learn more at https://flyingfreenow.comI'll send you (free!) the first chapter of my book, Is It Me?
