I appreciate this podcast for the real rawness of it and the no fluff approach to talking about trauma, what it is; how it affects us and it comes from a real person who has gone / going through it
This is my favourite podcast for my healing journey
Absolute life changer for me! I was in a constant cycle of flight, fight, shutdown and then it would take days to get back to any feeling of safety only for the cycle to repeat. The Safety Anchors saved me! Having a list of Safety Anchors helped reassure me that I had a way out. I could see hope in that list. I can’t recommend this podcast and course enough. The information is powerful and life changing!
I stumbled upon this podcast and somehow started at episode 166… then I realized I missed the beginning - specifically, important ground work being laid.
I am not a therapist. I am a patient, married, no kids and a trauma survivor. I am actively in therapy with a therapist that aligns with the polyvagal theory. I have been in therapy for all of my adult life (23 years) and since finding a therapist that applies this theory to her practice, I feel I have done so much learning and growing. More s... more
Thank you for sticking to the talking points that really drive the lesson home. Love this. Listening in my car while I wait in the school pick up line and I love that I get to finish an episode because they’re short.
Thank you! Keep bringing these.
I enjoy how Justin combine scientific theory and his own experiences/observations/etc. As a therapist myself, I find the show very informative and easy to listen to. It is so empowering and I definitely would recommend some of my clients to give it a listen, I think they can benefit from it a lot. Thank you!
