early childhood trauma

It's a bucket list episode, baby! Louise welcomes The Holistic Psychologist to the studio to delve into the art of genuinely loving and liking yourself this year. This is the stuff that no one ever teaches us about but that we should all be learning about at school. Louise & Dr. Nicole LePera, a trailblazer in holistic psychology, get into: The importance of integrating the body, somatic practices, and nervous system awareness for ACTUAL change. What the time between our heart beats can tell us about our ability to regulate our emotions in relationships (+ HRV, heart-brain coherence) How you can’t break cycles without using your biology Understanding the differentiation between The Conscious vs. Subconscious Mind: Why affirmations alone fall short and post-its on the wall aren’t enough The power and danger of ego stories Exploring the core universal belief of feeling unworthy Understanding trauma-based attractions versus grounded, healthy connections. Why so many of us struggle with self-love and compassion, thriving instead in stress-based chaos Louise & Dr. Nicole finish the episode by asking each other what the biggest change they have each seen, personally, since doing this work.
