Understanding the Hidden Forms of Trauma Many People Overlook with Coach Liz Blanding

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2321621/fan_mail/new] In today’s Mini Trauma Recovery Talk, we are revisiting one of our foundational conversations about the many different forms of trauma that people experience throughout life. 🔁 This is a replayed foundational episode from our podcast archives because awareness is a critical part of recovery. Many individuals are struggling with symptoms of trauma without fully recognizing what they have experienced or how it continues to impact their lives, relationships, emotions, health, finances, leadership, identity, and overall well-being. In this episode, we explore various forms of trauma including: • Physical Trauma  • Emotional & Psychological Trauma  • Developmental Trauma  • Complex Trauma  • Accidental Trauma  • Medical Trauma  • Military & Combat Trauma  • Cultural Trauma  • Interpersonal Trauma  • Systemic & Institutional Trauma  • Humanitarian & Refugee Trauma  • Spiritual Trauma  • Environmental Trauma  • Digital Trauma  • Financial Trauma  • Identity-Based Trauma  • Educational Trauma This conversation also emphasizes the importance of taking a holistic approach to recovery by understanding how multiple forms of trauma can overlap and affect the mind, body, spirit, relationships, and environment. Recovery begins with awareness.  When we become trauma informed, we can begin developing healthier strategies for support, prevention, leadership, and long-term recovery. Thank you for being part of this recovery journey with us. We are recovering one breath at a time. Give yourself grace and stay fearless.

Identity Restoration Requires Separation | Trauma Recovery with Coach Liz

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2321621/fan_mail/new] In this episode, we explore how recovery can create emotional distance from familiar patterns, relationships, and environments that once felt normal. Sometimes growth requires separation, not as punishment or rejection, but as protection for your recovery journey. In This Episode You Will Learn: * Why personal growth can create discomfort in familiar environments * How boundaries and awareness shift relationship dynamics * The difference between rejection and protective separation * Why your nervous system may interpret distance as loss * How recovery sometimes requires limiting access to old patterns * Why identity restoration often changes your alignment with people and places * How to create space for clarity, safety, and emotional regulation Key Reflection: Sometimes the hardest part of recovery is realizing you cannot become who you are meant to be while remaining fully connected to everything that kept you stuck. Recovery Comes First Separation in recovery does not always mean cutting people off completely. Sometimes it simply means creating enough emotional and physical space to think clearly, regulate your nervous system, and respond differently than before. Growth changes alignment. And sometimes protecting your recovery requires honoring those changes without guilt. Reflection Questions: 1. What environments no longer support the version of you that is growing? 2. Where have you mistaken protective separation for rejection? 3. What boundaries may be necessary for your continued recovery journey?

Why Boundaries Feel Like Guilt | Trauma Recovery with Coach Liz

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2321621/fan_mail/new] Episode Overview In this episode of the Get Trauma Informed Podcast, we take a deeper look at why setting boundaries can feel uncomfortable, heavy, and even wrong. What if the guilt you feel is not a sign that you are doing something wrong… but a sign that something is changing? This conversation reframes guilt as a natural part of trauma recovery and personal growth, especially when you begin choosing yourself in ways you never have before. In This Episode You Will Learn: * Why guilt often shows up when you begin setting boundaries * How past conditioning shapes your emotional responses * The connection between people-pleasing and safety * Why guilt is not an indicator of wrongdoing * How to reframe guilt as a sign of growth * A simple question to help you navigate emotional discomfort Key Insight: Guilt is not always a warning sign. Sometimes, it is a signal that you are doing something unfamiliar… and necessary. Reflection Question: When guilt arises, ask yourself: “Am I doing something wrong, or something unfamiliar?” Spiritual Reflection: Galatians 1:10 reminds us: Are we seeking approval from people… or alignment with truth? This shift allows us to move from people-pleasing into purpose-driven decisions. Call to Action: If this message resonates with you, I invite you to take the next step.

You Are Not Too Much, You Were Unprotected - Trauma Recovery with Coach Liz

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2321621/fan_mail/new] Episode Overview: In this episode of the Get Trauma Informed Podcast, Coach Liz Blanding challenges the belief that being emotional or sensitive means you are “too much.” She reframes emotional intensity as a response to a lack of protection and safety, not a flaw in identity. This conversation invites listeners to shift from self-blame to self-awareness by understanding how unmet needs and unsafe environments shape emotional responses. Through personal reflection and spiritual grounding, this episode offers a new perspective on emotions as meaningful signals rather than problems to suppress. In This Episode You Will Learn: • Why emotional intensity is not the problem, but a response to unmet needs • How beliefs about being “too much” are formed in unsafe environments • The connection between emotional suppression and identity-based shame • How to begin reframing emotions as information instead of problems • A spiritual perspective on being created with depth, awareness, and feeling Key Takeaway: You are not too much.
