S1.02 What is Trauma anyway, and how can we Move Beyond it? Introducing Trauma-Informed Coaching.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome to episode 1 where we discuss what is Moving Beyond Trauma.
Here are some time stamps and details of what you'll get:
0:52 The nature of individual and collective trauma, and how coaching works WITH it but not ON it (this would be therapy).
2:12 The history of trauma, and why it is an embodied survival response that developed during evolution
3:00 The basic survival instincts (fight, flight and freeze) and how this messes with our Social Engagement System (the most modern part of the human brain)
3:45 Psychiatry, psychotherapy, and the (relatively recent) development of Polyvagal Theory
4:27 The Icky Thing about trauma exposure
5:40 Helping people understand enough about themselves to move or, make forward progress, and live a better life
6:26 The culture of ill-ness (or wrongness) in psychology and psychiatry
7:57 A quick view of the history of psychology through the lens of control of the masses (or just certain groups in society) and how this is still present is the Stigma we face in the West around Mental Health
9:23 How come there is such a cross over between Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice (DEIJ) and trauma exposure
11:35 Better and better science and how we can move away from seeing natural trauma responses as "ill-ness"
12:03 Why what happened to you might be relevant to how come you are stuck now, and how to move on from that
13:40 I'm your expert companion, but watch out, Moving Beyond Trauma is an active process, you need to get busy!
16:02 Learning, unlearning, relearning yourself so you can help yourself and even others to move beyond trauma
17:32 The good news about that Icky Thing about trauma exposure
18:20 Why you'll never look back, and be glad you put the effort in to move beyond your trauma.
