• Shame, Blame & Self-Compassion in Trauma Recovery 💔🌸

  In this heartfelt episode, Jaime explores one of the most painful and often overlooked parts of trauma: the lingering burden of shame and self-blame. Many survivors — whether from childhood abuse, domestic violence, or other traumatic events — carry the false belief that they were responsible for what happened to them. These thoughts often stem from manipulation by abusers, societal stigma, or the brain’s own attempt to make sense of the pain.🧠 Jaime breaks down:Why survivors often blame themselves — even when they "know better"How fight, flight, and freeze responses are survival, not weaknessThe damaging myths around trauma and responsibilityWhy compassion, not judgment, is the true key to healing💗 The episode closes with a gentle, guided self-compassion meditation — offering listeners a moment of calm, grounding, and the chance to begin speaking to themselves with kindness.You are not to blame. You are not broken.You are surviving — and you deserve your own care, just as much as anyone else.📝 Questions or feedback?

• Intensive Therapy - Trauma - EMDR - CBT - How does it work?

  Trauma can cast a long shadow, but intensive therapy offers a way to step into the light and reclaim your life. Combining the transformative power of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with the practicality of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), this approach creates a dynamic path to healing that is both comprehensive and empowering.At the heart of EMDR is a remarkable technique that uses bilateral stimulation—like guided eye movements—to gently and effectively process distressing memories. It helps rewire the brain’s response to trauma, allowing you to release the hold that past experiences may have on your present. The result? A clearer, more peaceful mind, free from the weight of unresolved pain.On the other hand, CBT steps in as the ultimate toolkit for building resilience and emotional strength. By identifying negative thought patterns and replacing them with healthier, more constructive ways of thinking, CBT equips you to manage anxiety, depression, and other challenges that can accompany trauma. It’s a therapy that doesn’t just heal—it empowers, giving you the skills to navigate life’s complexities with confidence and clarity.When used together, EMDR and CBT complement each other beautifully. While EMDR focuses on resolving deep-rooted emotional scars, CBT provides the practical strategies needed to cope, thrive, and rebuild. Intensive therapy condenses this powerful combination into a focused timeframe, offering faster relief and profound transformation. It’s a journey of self-discovery, growth, and renewed strength—a chance to turn the page and start a new chapter.Join me on this empowering journey as we unravel the complexities of traumaand provide insights, resources, and hope for those seeking healing and transformation.You can always drop me an email to ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠ if you want to have a request or visit my website by clicking thehashtag ⁠⁠#onlinetherapy⁠⁠Please follow me or like the podcast if you wish, and shareit with others.Hope you enjoy!Jaime (CBT and EMDR therapist) #UnderstandingTrauma #HealingJourney #MentalHealthMatters #BreakTheSilence #SeekingSupport #TraumaInformedCare #Empowerment #FindingHope ⁠#WellbeingandMentalHealthforOrganisations ⁠⁠#TraumaticEventSupportforOrganisation⁠⁠#CrisisandTraumaticEpisodeforOrganisations⁠⁠#industrialtraumasupport⁠ ⁠#staffwellbeingservices⁠ ⁠#onlinementalhealthsupportforemployeesImage by pikisuperstar - FreePik.com
