Episode notes

If you’ve ever wondered why you might experience disproportionate emotional reactions to seemingly small events or situations - then you are likely traumatized! So, what is “trauma” and how does it develop? And more importantly, how can we become aware of it and begin to heal it rather than habitually cope with it?

In this conversation, we curiously explore the concept of trauma from a therapist’s perspective and aim to help people understand that trauma is not always directly related to the events that happened to you (although it definitely can be), but rather is the unconscious interpretation of any event that was perceived as “unsafe” to you.

Simone Saunders is a Registered Social Worker and therapist in Calgary, Alberta, as well as the founder of The Cognitive Corner—a group psychological practice that focuses on providing trauma-informed and culturally responsive psychological care and psychoeducation to Albertans and Ontarians. She is also a popular mental health creator with over 350k followers with the intention to normalize mental health struggles and provide accessible psychoeducation.

In addition to exploring what trauma is and how it develops, we also address:

-Boundary setting (and how to do so in cultural contexts that views them as disrespectful!)

-Gaslighting (specifically, ourselves!)

-How to meet your needs

-How relationships both trigger & heal trauma
