    28. The Freeze Response - Thawing From Sexual Numbness

    Sometimes, the body - and our younger selves - remember before we do. In this tender episode, I share what it was like to meet my inner child in a moment of shutdown—and to hear her say, “This is really hard for me.” Join me as I share a personal *story about navigating the freeze response—especially when it shows up as **sexual numbness. I explore how past trauma shaped my body’s protective shutdowns and how gentle tools like breathwork, inner child dialogue, somatic awareness, and bilateral tapping helped me begin the slow, sacred work of thawing. If you've ever wondered why connection can feel so hard, even when you want it, this episode might help you feel less alone.   *I have permission from my husband to share this experience - all g-rated.   **Trigger Warning - I share generally about subtle sexual abuse as a child & teen. So please take care of yourself as needed.   My Website: https://camibirdno.com   To schedule a FREE Chat: https://camibirdno.com/schedule/

    27. When I Caught Myself Fawning

    Ever caught yourself saying something just to smooth things over—then walked away feeling small, tight, or ashamed? In this episode, I share how I recognized a fawn response in real time, how my breath helped me reconnect, and what it means to reclaim our truth after self-abandoning.  Healing from trauma doesn’t mean we never fawn again. It means we learn to notice when we do, breathe into the fear, and slowly find our way back to ourselves. This episode is a soft landing for anyone who’s been there. If you're healing from people-pleasing or navigating trauma responses, I invite you to listen and see if this one’s for you.

    25. The Fight Response and My Hair

    Reclaiming Power: Understanding Trauma and the Fight Response   In this episode, I dive into a personal story and insights about trauma and the fight response in my situation. I explore how past trauma can resurface and how it manifests as anger, control, or defensiveness. I share a personal year long journey with my hair, examining a visceral reaction tied to a memory of my father's criticism. Through somatic tools, mindfulness, and compassionate self-dialogue, I share how I was able to release the fight for control that came as a visceral response and transform these reactions into empowerment and choice.  I invite you to meet you own triggered responses with compassion, and curiosity. I also  offer that we can view your own fight response as a protective mechanism rather than the enemy.   00:00 Introduction to Trauma Healing 00:27 Personal Story: The Fight Response and Hair 02:03 Revisiting Past Episodes and Insights 03:27 The Hair Trigger: A Deep Dive 07:42 Understanding the Fight Response 09:21 Tools for Healing and Reclaiming Power 13:12 Compassionate Inner Dialogue 14:55 Conclusion and Invitation to Connect   I offer a FREE 30 min chat.   https://camibirdno.com/schedule/

    24. I thought I was over this...

    I can't tell you how many times I used to think this thought when I would get triggered, or when a visceral response would come up in my body that made zero sense to my present self. I want to honor that it's ok. In this episode I share many different aspects of why and how this might come up. I offer ways we can be more kind to ourselves and some possible new reframes. Throughout the episode I invite you to check in and honor what your experience has been. Please reach out if you have any questions. I offer a FREE 30 min chat. https://camibirdno.com/schedule/

    23. Safety 1st - Before, the River of Misery

    Things are seeming to get worse.... Is this a thought you've had during your healing journey? The River of Misery is a tool we offer to our mind when this comes up. It makes sense that as we start to change, rewire our brain and offer ourselves new reframes that the parts of us that are used to the way we do things will freak out a little or maybe a lot. And this is what the river of misery refers too. However, when we add trauma to the mix, sometimes it's not safe yet in our body to step even one foot into that river. If you have tried to push through the hard and everything in you screams out to stop, you can't seem to make any progress, or you start ok and then fell pushed back to shore, it could be because your body needs some safety first.  I invte you to take a listen and see if any of this resonates. If you want to chat about any of it, you can schedule a FREE Chat w/me here: https://camibirdno.com/schedule/ - And my social links, if you want to learn more about me, are here: https://www.instagram.com/camibirdnocoaching/ https://www.facebook.com/camibirdnocoaching/ - Finally, if you want to join my weekly newsletter to get tips and healing tools, you can join here: https://camibirdno.com/weekly-newsletter-updates/

  8. 22. Resiliency Means What Again?

    07/09/2024

    22. Resiliency Means What Again?

    Resiliency is a common word we hear when we start to heal our trauma. And it's one that I always forgot the meaning of. Does that happen to you? You hear a word, it makes sense and then when you hear it again, you don't understand how it applies to you or your trauma healing? Today, I share a little about my journey with this word and the different phases I see myself and my clients going through in the space of resiliency during our trauma healing. A basic definition of resiliency means being able to 1- feel sensations & emotions in our body, 2- let them come up, and 3- trust and know that we can come back to a regulated safe place in our body once again. So when we are resilient, we are able to feel our stuff, our body, trust it’s ok and be able to regulate within our nervous system again. I invite you to listen and see what phases of resiliency you have expereinced in your journey to heal trauma. And if you need help with understanding your resiliency or more tools to gain resiliency, check out my calendar and sign up for a free Internal Power Chat using the link below. https://camibirdno.com/schedule/
