Trauma and How It Impacts Our Lives with Grace Scarborough (Part 2) | Ep #17

This episode is Part 2 of a 2-part series on releasing trauma. We continue the discussion to learn how to recognize when trauma is present. Trauma vs. Anxiety or fear. The Fight, Flight or Freeze responses and how to work through them. We discussed the painfully slow pace of SE and why it provides powerful trauma releases!

If anything in today’s episode triggered a trauma memory or response, Grace shared some tips for how to get support right away:

1. Go outside. Put your bare feet on the ground and breathe. 
2. Orient yourself… wherever you are, look at everything around you. Get present to your surroundings.
3. Walk through the woods or forest, or on the beach. Get into nature.
4. Look at something beautiful: A flower, the lush green grass, the color of the sky, whatever holds beauty for you. 
5. Call a friend or family member and just touch base. Relational connection will most definitely support you. It is important not to talk about what triggered you though, or it might set you back!

Believe it or not, everyone is walking around with some form of trauma. It impacts your quality of life. It impacts your relationships. It impacts your choices. If you have recognized a trauma response after listening to today’s episode, please reach out and start healing it!
