Understanding Childhood Trauma that Doesn’t Feel Like Trauma with Chelsea Green

Gervase is getting publicly therapized this week with soul mate and licensed professional counselor Chelsea Green. Chelsea speaks such wisdom about how the systems that we are surrounded by as children, translate into our adult life. The conversation is sprinkled with mic drop moment after mic drop moment from the choices that women, and individuals face everyday to how we can calibrate our roles in the patriarchal society. 

In this episode, we talk about:

• The patterns we perpetuate as adults that stem from what was deemed “normal” to us as part of our nuclear family
• Why and how roles (parent, daughter, wife) develop within systems and an exercise for introducing flexibility to your capacity to step in and out of your rigid roles
• How we trick ourselves into associating comfort with control
• The traumatized parts of us that developed in reaction to the way we were raised

Chelsea is a Licensed Professional Counselor providing integrative mental health therapy in Charleston, SC. Her therapy practices specializes in working with adults, couples, and families in the midst of life transitions, relationship stress, trauma recovery, family systems, anxiety, depression, and stress. She is also a family constellation group facilitator and a visual artist who merges her many talents to curate transformative experiences.
