70 - How You Can Stop Minimizing Your Trauma And Start Feeling

In this episode, Rachel talks about defense mechanisms. Rachel explains denial and minimization and why they show up in our current lives, and memories about the past. “My mom screamed every night, but I had a great childhood.” “My uncle overdosed, but it’s not a big deal.” Sound familiar? Rachel gives listeners an exercise to slowly begin to feel emotions, so defense mechanisms like denial and minimization, stop showing up.    Talk to me.
