Hard work, Time and Patience | CPTSD and Trauma Healing Coach
In this episode, I read the chapter of my book Think Unbroken Understanding and Overcoming Childhood Trauma. And I read one of the chapters about Hard work, Time, and Patience. There are bits and pieces that you can compile from the world around you to create your protocol, but at the end of the day, you have to be patient with yourself, and you have to give yourself time to heal even if it takes the rest of your life. When I decided to take the first step, I realized that the hard work ahead could not be measured against metrics or timelines. No one can determine what that thing is except for you. Are you ready to take the first step and create a massive change in your lives? Join us as I share this episode! Be Unbroken.

Understanding Panic attack, Flashbacks, and Triggers as a trauma survivor | CPTSD and Trauma Healing Podcast
In this episode, I share another chapter of my book, Think Unbroken Understanding and Overcoming Childhood Trauma. I will read about “Understanding Panic attack, Flashbacks, and Triggers as a trauma survivor.” Today, I will share breathing practice in our daily lives with you, learn to control your breath, and understand what triggers you and why those triggers cause you to have a flashback. Your mind is the most powerful tool you have because when you learn to work with it, you can control how you respond to everything that happens in your life. As we know and continue to learn, the breath is one of the important human functions for regulating the flow of chemicals released in the brain; learning to control our breathing can help you navigate anxiety, depression, panic, and fear. Have you ever had a panic attack the moment that you found yourself alone, undistracted, and not shifting your attention anywhere else in particular? How do you navigate flashbacks when you can't control when they happen? Listen as I dive into this episode because it is important to understand how the mind works and navigate triggers as they arise!
