In this episode, Anna Parker-Naples discusses trauma and its effects on our lives. She explores different types of trauma, including big T trauma and little T trauma, as well as trauma experienced during early development and inherited family trauma. Anna also delves into somatic storage and therapy, explaining how trauma can be stored in the body and the importance of releasing it. She touches on the concept of past lives and ancestral trauma, highlighting the potential impact on our present lives. Anna concludes by inviting listeners to explore their own somatic sensations and consider what stories they may be carrying that are not their own.
Takeaways
Trauma can come in various forms, including big T trauma (major events) and little T trauma (smaller events that our minds struggle to process).
Trauma can be stored in the body, leading to physical symptoms and emotional distress.
Somatic therapy, such as breath work and deep body work, can help release stored trauma and promote healing.
Past lives and ancestral trauma may also influence our present experiences and behaviors.
Continual healing and growth are important, as trauma work is an ongoing process.
Anna announces an upcoming retreat focused on connection, self-trust, and purpose.
