The 4 reactions to childhood trauma

James Hands Awaken Therapy

In this episode I focus on how our various responses to childhood trauma—be it fight, flight, freeze, or fawn—can clue us into the deeper roots of our emotional and psychological challenges. My discussion revolves around the idea that understanding these trauma responses is critical not just for symptom management but for addressing the fundamental causes of our distress. By exploring the origins of these reactions, we aim to unlock stuck energies and emotions, facilitating a deeper healing process.

Lastly, I take you through a guided hypnotherapy session (which can also be referred to as childhood rescue or trauma release) aimed at reconnecting with and soothing the traumatised parts of ourselves, fostering a nurturing internal environment where healing can flourish. This work is about more than just understanding—it's about actively engaging in the process of healing, with the hope of achieving a greater sense of peace and emotional freedom.
