Trauma & Your Health | Healing the Past to Succeed in the Present

Is Past Trauma Keeping You Stuck?   When we think of "trauma"
we usually think of what's called "Big T Trauma" things like war,
violence, sexual abuse, accidents and tragedies.  But far more
common and often unacknowledged but potentially just as emotionally
damaging are "Little t trauma's"; things like divorce (yours or
your parents) bullying, job loss, or illness.  No matter the
type of trauma, or how long it lasted, it all has the potential to
cause us great suffering and post traumatic stress.  And that
stress may be showing up in your life in ways you aren't
recognizing as being related to past trauma, so it's important to
explore whether or not that's the case for you.     We
often downplay our own little t trauma's, for example: maybe you're
someone who has struggled with emotional eating or overeating for
years or even decades, but you downplay your own suffering in that
trauma, thinking "oh, first world problems" right?   You might
think, "I've got a roof over my head, my kids are okay, I have
enough food, in fact too much food is the problem.  My
suffering in this struggle is nothing compared to HER suffering
because of that tragedy."  We downplay the significance of
this in our life and how it's truly affecting us because we compare
it to a big T trauma.  Comparing the perceived severity of
trauma is useless and not serving you at all.  If it's a big
deal to you then it is, acknowledge it and treat it as such.
Unacknowledged trauma and suffering doesn't just go away, and it
WILL keep you stuck in destructive relationships, and habits of
thought, emotion and behavior.      In this
episode I'll answer some of the most important questions about
healing from trauma:  - What is trauma? What is Suffering? How
do we acknowledge this in our lives?  - How does this show up
in our lives? In our emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and
relationships?   - What are the signs of unhealed trauma?
 - How do I begin to heal from trauma?  What are the
skills, tools and practices I can use to heal and move forward?
 - What can life after trauma look like? How do I get there?
  Friends, you can do this, you can move past trauma, you can
be bigger and better and stronger than you've ever been. But you
have to be willing to stop avoiding and put in the work of healing,
changing your thoughts, and drawing closer to God. That my friends
is true power. That's the true change.    XOXO Tara

Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Program & Membership! Ditch the
Diets and Finally Make Peace with Food If you struggle with yo-yo
dieting then you know how hard it is to make any real lasting
change.  Unfortunately most women get stuck in the belief that
being on a diet is the only way to lose weight and get healthy, and
when they inevitably fail they’ve destroyed their self esteem,
destroyed their relationship with food, and get stuck in a
guilt/shame spiral that starts the whole process over again.  
If you don’t understand how reprogram your mind that is sabotaging
you, and reprogram your body for health, you’ll never make lasting
progress.   That’s why I created the Healthy Mind,
Healthy Body Program; to teach you how to make a real, lasting
transformation in your Mind AND Body.      Learn
