48. The Impact of Trauma On The Nervous System: What Is It, How To Release it, And Where Chronic Illness Fits In With Will Thomas

That Healing Feeling

In today's episode, I am bringing you the founder of my trauma-informed coaching program - Will Thomas. I brought Will on because I want to highlight the deep connection between trauma and chronic illness. In an effort to provide you with the tools to become your own self-healer, I believe it's important to bring the topic to light but to provide more gentle, less "traditional" resources to releasing this trauma for healing. And that's exactly what Will does!

Will Thomas is a coach and therapist with over 25 years of experience in supporting people through trauma and difficult life challenges. He specializes in working with people with traumatic back stories and those from the LGBTQ+ communities, and he has a vast range of approaches for self-healing and for one-to-one support. He’s also had his fair share of trauma and knows how challenging it can be to live it and heal. He is a kind, knowledgeable, and empathetic person, and that really came through in our discussion together. I'm so excited for you to dive in because understanding trauma and how we can release it is absolutely imperative to becoming our own healers.

In this episode, we dive into:

-What trauma is

-How it is stored

-How trauma leads to chronic conditions

-The many ways we can release trauma without reliving it
