The Third Stage of Trauma Healing
This episode is filled with insight that will shape your understanding and open your mind on the deep work that needs to happen for trauma healing that can change our state of being in the world.
This is a follow-up to episode 16, “The Two Stages of Healing.” If you haven’t already tuned into that episode, start there and then come back to this episode.
Here, Alison explores what the third stage of healing is, how you can identify where you’re at in different areas of your life as a way to expand your awareness of what’s possible, and a few ways you can support yourself with moving through to the third stage.
She also offers two refinements to what she’s shared thus far on the stages of healing that provide a layer of nuance to support you with how you think about these stages in your own life and healing work.
