Understanding Trauma Responses: Explaining The 4 Types, How They Develop & Present, & Beginning To Shift Towards A More Divine Feminine, Heart Based Approach

Whew...this eclipse energy must be getting to me. If you made it through the episode, I apologize for all the F bombs! It is an intense topic though & I got pretty fired up. Trauma responses. What are they? Trauma responses are described as survival mechanism to help us react quickly to life-threatening situations. They arise as a result of early life exposure to these events creating an almost auto pilot mode that individuals enter into under great distress or upset.

On this Identify & Heal solo episode, I put my therapist hat and and share with a spiritual lens what the 4 trauma responses are, how they develop and present in individuals, and how we can begin to identify them when they show up. I then describe how we can begin to shift to a more Divine Feminine healthy and balanced response. I offer examples as well as personal examples of trauma responses and share encouragment for how to navigate them.

What is Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine?

My name is Whitney Walker, welcome to Women Waken! I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist specialising in substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and Spirituality. Over 10 years ago I walked into a therapist office for the first time because I realised that I felt incapable of handling life. I abused drugs and alcohol, had rock bottom self esteem, often felt suicidal, was very self destructive, and had no idea how to resolve what felt like a complete mess inside my mind and emotions.

After years of therapy, getting sober, and choosing to begin the journey of unconditional self love for myself, things started to change. My self esteem rose along with my self regard and kindness towards myself. I knew there was only one thing I wanted to do with the rest of my life; help others out of the place that I was in and start figuring out how we can end these cycles for good, for all of us.

Women Waken is building community and offering a platform for Women to come together who share a vision of creating a new way of life where insecurity, low self esteem, and self- destruction are no longer the norm. Where we are able to rebalance the dynamic between the inner and outer Worlds so that our ability to love and accept ourselves is no longer dependent on externals.

On this show, we speak to Women who are seeking to heal from traumas/habits/addictions that are keeping them in a place of disempowerment who are ready to begin aligning with their true self and are ready to let their light shine

I release two episodes a week, an interview and solo episode,

If you feel ready to reclaim your power and stand in your Divine light I hope this show finds you!
