Trauma Brain vs. Wise Mind: Who's Talking?

Have time for a quick chat? I wanted to talk to you about a confusing but important part of trauma work: Navigating the distinction between trauma brain and wise mind.  In this mini episode, I am walking you through how to identify when trauma brain is taking over and how to reconnect with your wise mind for better decision-making and coping.  If you’ve ever struggled with knowing which voice to trust, I’m offering practical strategies to help you navigate the maze.  Friendly neighborhood reminder: This is hard stuff and you don’t always have to figure it out alone. Consider this your standing invitation to join us for Tuesday Group. This is the kind of thing we will be talking about and figuring out together every week. Group is here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-trust.
