Unpacking Trauma to Live a Life of Purpose Out of the Common

Today’s episode comes with a warning that it may be distressing to some, as Chris and Vanessa are joined by Chiropractor, Dr. Kayla, to discuss trauma and the process of unpacking it. If you’re not entirely sure just what trauma actually is, you are not alone – it can be layered and complex.

They begin by defining trauma and the empowerment it can provide, and then they go on to share stories of a variety of types of trauma they’ve experienced, and the impact it had upon them and others. Dr. Kayla and Vanessa also offer descriptions of their work and of the gifts which Chris possesses as well as how some people respond to them. The need to separate emotions from identity, unpacking and releasing trauma, fighting energy with energy, and seeking help if you need it are also discussed.
