Little Fixes Podcast

Trigger Warning- The episode contains references to sexual abuse, substance abuse, violence and fire. Please use your discretion before listening.

Every time I open Instagram these days, the word ‘trauma’ comes in front of me at least once. In Pop Psychology, many inconveniences are termed as traumatising and a host of responses are termed as trauma responses. We need to understand that not every distress is trauma and not every response is a trauma response.

I have Shini Sahni with me who is a mental well-being and mental fitness coach. She has worked as a psychotherapist for over 17 years. Shini is the founder of Nu-Re Wellness which focuses on preventive mental healthcare.

She will tell us-

-What trauma is and what it’s not

-How overusing the term impacts the society negatively

-What is childhood trauma

-How to recognize trauma in kids

-Why we shouldn’t worry unnecessarily about traumatising our kids

-What are some better ways of describing feelings which are not trauma
