Show Notes:
In this deeply supportive solo episode, trauma-informed coach, registered nurse, and play expert Angie Berrett speaks directly to trauma survivors navigating the heavy emotional landscape of the holiday season. Angie opens up about her own lived experience with holiday-related trauma and seasonal affective disorder, offering both validation and compassionate guidance for listeners who feel overwhelmed, frozen, or disconnected this time of year.
She breaks down the physiology behind survival responses like functional freeze, explains why so many people feel the urge to cocoon during stressful seasons, and shares a powerful grounding tool designed to help you reconnect with your body without re-traumatizing yourself. This episode is a reminder that your responses make sense, you’re not alone, and small, gentle movements can create moments of peace amid chaos.
