• 5 Steps to become a Trauma-Informed Parent

  Episode Overview In this episode, we explore the transformative approach of trauma-informed parenting. We discuss how to understand trauma, create a safe and attuned environment for your children, recognize and address projected trauma, and implement a practical trauma-informed parenting blueprint to support both you and your child’s emotional growth. Key Takeaways Trauma isn’t only about external events—it’s also about the internal impact on the individual. Children’s stress responses require co-regulation, not simply “self-soothing.” Authenticity and attachment can sometimes be in conflict, leading to suppressed emotions. Projecting our unresolved trauma onto our children is common but can be worked through. Awareness of unconscious parenting beliefs and patterns is essential for meaningful change. Integrating difficult emotions, such as anger, in a healthy way is important. Maintaining your sense of identity beyond being a parent helps prevent burnout and resentment. Key Topics Covered Understanding trauma, emotional imprints, and the stress response Creating a space of safety, attunement, and authenticity Recognizing and addressing projected trauma Implementing a trauma-informed parenting blueprint Actionable Steps Deepen your understanding of trauma, the stress response, and nervous system regulation. Create a safe, attuned, and authentic environment where your children can thrive. Notice when you might be projecting your own trauma and take steps to address it. Apply a trauma-informed parenting blueprint, including: Identifying emotional triggers and unconscious beliefs Integrating difficult emotions in a healthy way Preserving your identity beyond parenting Seek support, continue learning, and grow as a trauma-informed parent.

• A Holistic Approach to Chronic Illness with Rosalie Mason

  SHOWNOTES Chronic illness is what set Rosalie on her path to study Embodied processing and Somatic therapy as she spent over 10 years searching for answers and ways to find relief, so as a therapist she has a deep passion for holistic healing and the transformational journey toward wholeness. “I’m endlessly fascinated by the complexities of life , how our experiences shape us, how our bodies remember, and how healing becomes possible when we honour all parts of ourselves. Rooted in a trauma-sensitive approach, my work is deeply informed by an understanding of the nervous system. I’ve seen firsthand how automatic responses and dysregulation can influence our behaviours, trigger patterns, and even contribute to chronic illness. This insight became super personal as I navigated my own difficult path through MCAS and histamine intolerance . Debilitating conditions that challenged me, but ultimately led me home to myself. Through my own healing journey, I’ve gained profound insight into the mind-body connection, and now, it’s my mission to support others in finding that same freedom. I help people reconnect with their inner wisdom, regulate their nervous systems, and cultivate a sense of peace, acceptance, and safely within. I believe healing is not just about symptom relief, it’s about transformation, abundance, and coming back to wholeness. My greatest joy is walking alongside others as they reclaim their truth, step back into their power, and return to living in their full capacity I work with Chronic illness and specialise in MCAS and hormonal affected conditions such as adrenal fatigue, perimenopause and menopause” Website: https://templeofbeing.com.au/ Email: [email protected] IG: https://www.instagram.com/temple.of.being/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/rosaliemariemason/
