E023 — Healing from Trauma: Why It’s Your Responsibility, with Liz Blanding
Trauma is something most of us have experienced, whether we realize it or not.
In this episode, Holistic Trauma Recovery Coach and Bestselling Author Liz Blanding shares powerful insights on what trauma really is, why healing is our responsibility, and how we can take control of our recovery.
Liz opens up about her personal journey through trauma, the impact of unprocessed emotions, and how emotional intelligence plays a key role in healing. Whether you’ve experienced trauma firsthand or are supporting someone who has, this conversation is filled with wisdom, encouragement, and practical steps to move forward.
"Trauma is not your fault. Recovery is your responsibility."
— Liz Blanding
Takeaways:
Trauma is more common than we think: even experiences like job loss or relationship struggles can leave a lasting impact.
Healing is a choice: while we can’t control what happened to us, we are responsible for how we move forward.
Emotional intelligence is key: self-awareness, self-regulation, and understanding our triggers help us navigate trauma.
Ignoring trauma doesn’t make it go away: unhealed trauma can manifest in unexpected ways, from anxiety to physical health issues.
Journaling and storytelling are powerful tools for healing: writing can help release trauma and transform pain into purpose.
Creating a safe space for recovery is essential: whether for yourself or others, healing happens in supportive, non-judgmental environments.
