Why is it important to identify Protective Part frequencies for personal empowerment in complex trauma recovery?

Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) is a multifaceted condition that encompasses a range of symptom categories, often stemming from prolonged exposure to traumatic experiences. These symptoms can include a pervasive loss of meaning, feelings of betrayal, and the presence of protective parts that obstruct personal growth. Tanner, in season eight of this podcast, offers a fresh perspective on CPTSD symptom categories, arguing that they fail to encapsulate the true complexity of the condition. Tanner's approach is deeply influenced by her belief in the transformative power of spiritual and soul-level healing, emphasizing the necessity of Unburdening oneself from external energies to amplify Self Energy. She advocates for a restorative reframing of thoughts as a pathway to personal empowerment and Self Leadership, viewing this as a crucial step in overcoming the challenges posed by complex trauma.

Quotes:

“The idea that the Protective Parts of us don’t have a meaning system is wildly inaccurate. In fact, they have developed a very well-articulated, well-versed meaning system around [the idea that] ’something is wrong with the human I inhabit.’” — Tanner  [0:03:02]

“The one task you have in recovery from complex trauma is to unburden your system of all non-native energy such that you can amplify your self-energy, which allows you to be in a place of personal power and self-leadership to make all the decisions in your life.” — Tanner  [0:12:02]

“We’re not flawed. We’re not broken. We’re running about 18 different energies [depending on what] time of day it is and whoever is in our relational field. Cleaning this up is a matter of amplifying self-energy.” — Tanner  [0:28:56]

“Love is what transmutes trauma. Love heals trauma.” — Tanner  [0:32:46]
