Holistic Life Navigation

Luis Mojica, a trauma response expert and author, discusses fawning as a frequently overlooked trauma response. The podcast explores the origins and effects of fawning, its connection to sexual trauma, and the importance of setting boundaries. It highlights the difference between manners and fawning, emphasizing personal growth. The significance of containment and movement in trauma response, overcoming fawning, and connecting with one's body are also discussed.

My experience of trauma is a unique one. I was born with a hormonal condition and I developed breasts in the 5th grade. Here I was; a boy with breasts. I was sexually assaulted, viciously bullied, & absolutely hated myself and my body.I coped with overeating, which led to a myriad of health complications. I had complex PTSD, Tourette Syndrome, high cholesterol, debilitating asthma, cystic acne, and I was 50 pounds overweight.A strange and surprising awakening occurred when I began writing music - and my healing journey began. I discovered herbs, whole foods, vegan nutrition, somatic therapy, and self-inquiry. All of which, over the course of 14 years, would completely heal my physical chronic illnesses and my mental and emotional trauma and shame.It's through that journey that I developed this unique holistic therapy that I call Holistic Life Navigation.You can register for the FREE Food Therapy session here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/events/beans You can pre-order the book here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-book You can read more about, and register for, the retreat at Broughton in the UK here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/broughton-2026----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?
