039: Trauma Response and How It Shows Up In Our Lives with Michelle Powell
Most of us have some trauma response happening in our life and aren’t even aware of it.
Ask yourself this, when there is something you are fearful of, are you responding from an optimistic point of view or are you responding from fear?
In this episode, we are again joined by Michelle Powell as we dive into trauma response and how it shows up in our lives. We are all hard-wired to survive and choose the path of least resistance. Everybody does it, but the question is, what are you going to do with that knowledge to change things?
