S3E75: Reclaiming Peace Somatic Techniques for Trauma Surviving Mamas

Have you ever felt like your past trauma resurfaces with a vengeance after becoming a mama? You're not alone. Many of us discover that the healing we thought we'd achieved pre-motherhood suddenly feels inadequate when faced with the challenges of raising little ones.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Cassandra Love Lambert, a trauma-trained somatic transformational coach and artist. Cassandra opens up about her personal journey through childhood trauma, including sexual abuse and emotional neglect. She shares how becoming a mother eleven years ago reignited her healing process, opening what she calls a "trauma capsule."

Navigating Motherhood After Trauma

Cassandra reveals the tools and practices that helped her navigate the overwhelming emotions and triggers that arose after her daughter's birth. She emphasizes the importance of:

• Connecting with a higher power
• Exploring somatic healing modalities
• Practicing daily self-care rituals

The Power of EFT Tapping

One of the key techniques Cassandra introduces is Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) tapping. She guides us through the process, explaining how this simple yet powerful practice can:

• Calm your nervous system
• Reduce anxiety and stress
• Help you feel more grounded and centered

Cassandra's insights offer hope and practical strategies for mamas struggling to balance their own healing with the demands of motherhood.

Creating a Healing Lifestyle

Beyond specific techniques, Cassandra emphasizes the importance of cultivating a healing lifestyle. She shares wisdom on:

• Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries
• Honoring your own needs alongside your family's
• Embracing imperfection and self-compassion

This episode is a must-listen for any mama who feels overwhelmed by past trauma or current triggers. Cassandra's compassionate approach and practical tools offer a roadmap for creating more peace, resilience, and joy in your motherhood journey.
