The Happier Approach: Quieting your High Functioning Anxiety Episode 149: How To Recognize Trauma and Show Up for Our Inner Kiddo with Nicole Lewis-Keeber
There are also Little T Traumas. These are often personally traumatic because of the timing, the place, or our emotional state: interpersonal conflict, divorce, infidelity, legal trouble, financial worries, moving, and many more.
Although something could be considered a “Little T” Trauma, that doesn’t mean it’s less traumatic or less damaging. Instead, it allows us to see the word trauma in a different way and realize that it can take on many shapes and forms.
Today on the show, I’m kicking off the month by chatting with Nicole Lewis-Keeber. Nicole is a business therapist and mindset coach who works with entrepreneurs to create and nurture healthy relationships with their businesses. She's a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters in Social Work and has a rich and varied experience as a therapist.
Listen to the full episode to hear:
- Nicole’s definition of big T trauma and little t trauma and how big T trauma explodes and little T trauma erodes
- How the personal development culture keeps us trapped by discouraging us from looking at our past
- Why the phrase “inner child” has gotten so much flack and why being willing to listen to your inner kiddo is so important
- How our inner kiddos come out in our present-day work and wreak havoc and what we can do about it

Helping people with High Functioning Anxiety is a personal mission for me. I have a special place in my heart for this struggle because it’s both something I dealt with unknowingly for years, and because it silently affects so many people who think this is just how it is.
