Exploring Our Triggers
Emily inspires us with her story of overcoming tremendous obstacles and breaking the cycle of trauma in her life. She emphasizes the importance of understanding your triggers and recognizing how emotions manifest in your body. This self-awareness is crucial not only for personal healing but also for preventing the transmission of trauma to our children.
Motherhood as a Catalyst for Change
Emily’s story takes a profound turn with the birth of her daughter, who became a catalyst for her healing journey. She candidly recounts how holding her newborn triggered a fight-or-flight response, rooted in her traumatic associations with the concept of “mother.” With time and perseverance, she learned to rewrite her narrative of motherhood, one that is based on love and safety.
