In This Episode We Will Dive into:

In today's episode, we delve into the profound impact of unseen traumas on our lives. While we often focus on the obvious challenges we've faced, it's the subtle, unseen traumas that can silently shape our behaviors, decisions, and ultimately, our progress.

Unseen traumas, though unnoticed, can be significant barriers to good sleep, decreasing stress, personal growth and development.

Despite our best efforts to overcome challenges and implement sleep and stress tools, certain behaviors and reactions persist, signaling the presence of deeper, unseen wounds.

We liken big T trauma to facing a towering mountain, while little T trauma is akin to stumbling over a pebble in our path. Both types of traumas leave lasting imprints on our neural pathways, influencing our responses to present-day stimuli.

Even after extensive self-work, these unseen traumas can persist, shaping our neural pathways and triggering protective mechanisms, such as internal family systems (IFS) protectors.

It's essential to recognize that even seemingly insignificant events from our past can leave a lasting impact on our present behaviors and decisions. Unseen traumas may lurk beneath the surface, influencing our actions and hindering our progress, regardless of how much we've worked on ourselves.

In our journey of self-discovery and growth, it's crucial to acknowledge the depth of unseen traumas. By unveiling these hidden wounds and addressing their impact, we can pave the way for true healing and progress.
