Don't Shrink to Fit: Empowering and Inspiring women, one story at a time.
Finding your way from trauma
Lauren and I discussed the differences between trauma therapy and coaching, with Lauren emphasizing that while coaches can provide assistance, deeper issues might require a different kind of treatment that is beyond their qualifications. She defined trauma as an overwhelming event affecting one's physiology and highlighted the impact of past experiences on a person's capacity to handle trauma. Lauren also explained the differences between EMDR and Brainspotting, two therapy techniques used for trauma processing. They also discussed a case of a figure skater who successfully overcame a mental block through therapy. The conversation touched upon the therapeutic methods for treating psychological trauma, the importance of emotional healing, and the qualities someone should look for in a therapist. Lauren shared her personal learning journey and emphasized the resilience and healing capacity of individuals.
