Childhood trauma can have long-lasting impacts that are not always visible on the surface. When a child experiences adverse events without the proper support system, it can cause deep wounds that affect their development and shape and their responses for years to come. This unresolved trauma can silently influence behaviors and decisions, making them vulnerable to stress and preventing them from reaching their full potential.
Danielle Massi is a best-selling author, international keynote speaker, and the CEO of The Wellness Collective. As a licensed psychotherapist and Shadow Work expert, Danielle has helped many people uncover and process their early childhood traumas so they can live freely without unconscious reactions holding them back.
Tune in as Daniel and Danielle talk about how we can childhood traumas can impact our adult responses, how to recognize and overcome childhood programming, what dissociation means and how it impacts our mental health, why we should be intentional about making changes early on, how our brains are wired for safety but also capable of taking risks, what our triggers mean, and how we can rewire our neural pathways to heal from trauma and expand our self-image to receive more in life.
