TRAUMA and PAIN takes on many forms and is an extraordinary CHALLENGE many of us face daily. \xa0This week, my guest GABBY BERNSTEIN and I are going to talk about PAIN and TRAUMA, digging deep into a subject that\u2019s affected a lot of us. In fact, I talk to a lot of people, and I\u2019ve seen how we\u2019re collectively reeling from trauma more than ever. \xa0\xa0That\u2019s why I asked Gabby to sit down and shed light on a topic that remains elusive and damaging for many people.We\u2019re going to unmask the nature of trauma, and Gabby will help you TAKE MORE CONTROL of your life and HEAL from the traumas that are hurting you.Gabby is well qualified because she's no stranger to trauma. She\u2019s overcome extreme challenges in her life, including the difficult battle of beating addiction and getting sober several years ago.Since then, she\u2019s published several NEW YORK TIMES bestselling books on spirituality, personal growth, and radical life change, including her new book HAPPY DAYS, THE GUIDED PATH FROM TRAUMA TO PROFOUND FREEDOM AND INNER PEACE.Gabby explores the disconnect between outward success and difficulties you face trying to reconcile how the world sees you vs. how you see yourself. That CONFLICT is a breeding ground for trauma, and shedding light on it can help ease mental stressors that can easily descend into trauma.One of the most important things we talk about are TRIGGERS AND PATTERNS. Reacting to things that have happened in our past creates triggers like disassociation, shame, or denial, and Gabby does a great job of breaking things down to help you recognize these things in you.She also reveals how we can heal ourselves from trauma by connecting with our INNER CHILD and PROTECTORS. Childhood trauma often carries forward to adulthood, and we develop protectors to do just that, protect us from long-standing traumas.There\u2019s also a physical price to pay for trauma. Gabby has got important insights on THE TOLL TRAUMA TAKES ON OUR BODY.And she also shares exercises we can do to lessen physical trauma, including the \u201cheart hold\u201d and \u201ctapping,\u201d which is a technique I\u2019ve been a fan of for a long time.This week is a HEALING week.Gabby helped me during our talk, and when you listen, I have no doubt SHE\u2019S GOING TO HELP YOU TOO.\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
