Trauma is often described as a catastrophic event that leaves resonance, but the concept of micro-traumas or “covert trauma” as Alex Howard defines, often goes understated and ignored in the healing world.

In this powerful episode with Alex Howard, I had the divine pleasure of connecting with a mentor of mine in the trauma field that finally helped me feel seen for what I have experienced most of my life, a series of covert traumas that collectively become catastrophic to your psyche and nervous system over time.

If you’ve ever felt sad, or anxious and don’t know why, this could be you. In fact, it was when I heard Trevor Hall on a podcast say these words that I finally felt seen for what I carried with me all my life.

What you carry over time becomes trauma in the body, and most chronic conditions or fatigue result from carrying past trauma, both from childhood or ancestral wounds.

Alex will “decode your fatigue” in this episode as he’s done in his book and teach you how to listen to your body so the signs don’t continue to become symptoms you carry for life.

A must listen episode for anyone experiencing physical symptoms from trauma!
