In this week’s Mind Remapping episode, I will share with you the complexities and contradictions that come with trauma and how we can embody the art of holding space for these complexities. Buckle up as we discover how trauma responses differ among individuals and how empathy, understanding, and emotional intelligence can foster healing and help us make a difference.
Key Takeaways:
- Complexity of Trauma – Everyone probably carries some trauma that lives differently in different people and looks differently as it manifests in behavior and communication.
- Trauma Responses – It is the body and the mind’s signal to us that there is physical, psychological, emotional, or social danger or threat.
- Acknowledging Multiple Truths – Let’s begin holding space for two things that can be true and let go of the scarcity thinking that if one person is right, the has to be wrong.
- Honest Communication – Our society needs to advocate for honest communication because when it’s done in the right way, it is very useful.
- Access to Empathy – Instead of only seeing things from our own perspective, we can gain empathy by stepping back and observing interactions from a neutral standpoint.
Helpful Resource:
Holding space helps us navigate the complexity of trauma as we allow other people’s harm to be valid and still not invalidate our own experience.
Notable Highlights:
“Almost everyone probably carries some trauma. You can’t have lived a life and not been impacted.”
“The belief sets up the view of how people see things, communicate, receive communication, how they experience emotion or not, and how they dissociate from emotion.”
“When people are responding from trauma, oftentimes they’re in tunnel vision.”
“Both people can be correct in certain ways and manners.”
“Acknowledging another person’s harm does not invalidate the trauma that you’ve experienced.”
“The reaction from the wounded place is not the most powerful reaction and it can be harmful. On the other hand, recognizing the wounded place is powerful.”
