Welcome back to Inside the Comfort Zone with me. In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Hartmann, a trauma-informed coach, to discuss how we can create space for emotional resilience and growth. Sarah underscores the importance of recognising our bodily reactions and teaches us to control the space between an event and our response.
Together, we delve into how trauma coaching differs from traditional therapy and why integrating the body and mind is essential for processing trauma. Sarah explains that self-awareness and self-compassion are key to handling stress and burnout. She guides us through practical strategies to notice and manage our physical reactions, ultimately enabling us to choose our responses thoughtfully.
Main Takeaways:
Recognise bodily reactions as valuable signals, not threats.
Create a pause between stimulus and response to choose your reactions purposefully.
Understand the importance of both top-down (mind) and bottom-up (body) approaches in trauma processing.
Foster compassion and empathy within oneself to create a safe space for personal growth and in relationships.
