Relational Trauma: Mental Health Awareness Week 4 - Repost from May 28 2021

Relationships are not without drama - but when the drama in the present is actually triggering things from the past…we might be in danger of losing that relationship.  Learn about our very human responses to survive & how they sometimes happen so often, they become habit. Whether it's your relational trauma or the trauma of someone you know and love - we can all use tools to recognize trauma responses in relationships (and hopefully support a more intentional shift). And if you can't play with this today? That's okay too. Stay curious. We'll see you later, or in the next episode friend.  🌿Listen in to:

💌 Explore different trauma responses;

💌 Play with the idea of identifying your triggers;

💌 Empower yourself to HEAL so you can remain present & responsive in your relationships.

Empowered Human with Nina Garcia is an episodic journey for self justice, personal freedom, and lifelong liberation. We can all use tools to recondition cultural beliefs that don't serve our lived experience as a human being. It starts with you, so have a journal on hand or a good friend to dialogue with what comes up for you in this episode. And if you can't play with this today? That's okay too. Stay curious.
