Oooh, this is a juicy episode! I've been wanting to talk more about childhood trauma and how that shows up in our life and relationships for some time, and what better time than the holiday season, where let's be honest family events can trigger the sh*t out of us! So I'm talking all things family trauma AND how to set boundaries that support you over this period.
I first learnt about the concept of how our childhood trauma shapes us from my therapist back in 2015 (when I was going through a traumatic separation), and she shared all about attachment theory and how attachment styles formed during childhood show up in our adult relationships. It gave me such a great framework to begin to understand who I was and why I had some of the thinking and relational patterns that I did (and still do TBH!). Fast forward to a few years ago and I discovered Dr Nicole Le Pera and her book How To Do The Work, next level game changer on all things trauma and mind, body, soul healing.
