Unburdening Trauma Energies: Lean Into the Lessons Without Shame

Episode S12E12: Show Notes

What would change if you were able to reframe misaligned actions as opportunities to learn? In this episode, I explore the final big idea about CPTSD recovery that I want to share. I also answer a user-submitted question and wrap up Season 12 of the podcast. This one, in particular, is really powerful because it is so connected to all the most important aspects of healing. We are speaking about unburdening Trauma Energies by leaning into the lessons without shame. Through understanding what shame is through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), we discover how to alchemize and neutralize Trauma Energies in order to release them. I share how this work results in a release of everything that is not true to our identity, explaining the possibility of releasing Shadow Survival Codes that might be masquerading as personality. When we start to release shame around lessons, we are more able to access a deeper intuition. Join me as I unpack the process of embracing lessons and letting go of shame as a path to more personal power and alignment with our self-essence. Thanks for listening!
