This episode explores the concept of the “trauma self” and its impact on recovery. We delve into how traumatic experiences can create rigid neural patterns that resist change, leading to fixed mindsets and avoidant behaviors. The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing these patterns in ourselves and others, particularly in relationships. By understanding the trauma self, we can begin to challenge our resistance to growth and develop more flexible, adaptive ways of thinking and behaving. While the journey is challenging, awareness and consistent effort can help us move beyond the limitations of our trauma-based neural networks.
