Holistic Trauma Healing with Lindsey Lockett

The beauty industry is a toxic, psychopathic abuser. Yes, you read that right! The tactics of the beauty industry are the very same tactics used by beauty culture to keep us, especially women, exhausted, manipulated, feeling inadequate, and coerced. I interview body connection coach and author of the book The Invisible Corset, Lauren Geertsen. In this episode, Lauren and I... Share that our bodies are not our enemies and how beauty culture has convinced us that aging (our power) is a liability Discuss Lauren’s spiritual awakenings that led to her career change from nutritional therapist to a body connection coach and author of the soon-to-be-released book, The Invisible Corset Expose predatory dynamics and patterns that abusers use to feed off energies of fear and shame and how they purposefully instill isolation, hate, and separation Share Lauren’s real and raw experience in an unhealthy relationship where she was preyed upon by an abuser and how she realized that this experience was necessary for her to awaken to the dark spiritual forces in the world Reveal Lauren’s incredible past life regression that taught her the parallels between the beauty industry and psychopathic abusers Ask how our uniqueness, our gifts and talents are being distorted into a liability to keep us controlled and in our “false selves” Explain how the “false self” is culturally conditioned so that we play out the desires of our abusers (hint: beauty culture is an abuser) Share about the energy healing offered by flower essences Subscribe!

Trauma coach Shelbi Dubord and I focus heavily on the hidden programming that is within each of us as a result of trauma. When we are operating under our hidden programming (on "autopilot"), we are ignorant of the awesome power of choice: that we get to choose to be who we are and how we respond to any situation. Shelbi shares her journey of going from a place of chronic illness and an inability to work to surrendering, quitting her corporate job, healing herself, and starting her work as a trauma coach. Shelbi and I also... talk about victim mentality as a hurdle to healing and the one thing our inner child needs most when we are acting as victims explain the connection between victim mentality and perfectionism explain "wokeness" comparison and the ego in the spiritual and personal development spaces reveal Shelbi's perspective on where our hidden programming actually lives (hint: it's not in our heads) discuss The Drama Triangle, how each of us cycles through each of its points, and how to get out talk about giving the body a voice using a simple but profound journaling technique explore how to get into the body to listen and discern what it's trying to tell you discern how to know what your body sounds like vs. the brain manufacturing answers discuss using imagination to connect with your body Subscribe!

In this episode, therapist Andrew Kerbs and I chat about about pain avoidance, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, target fixation, and values. We also touch briefly on religious trauma. In our conversation, Andrew and I… reveal that most people live from a place of pain avoidance discuss the limiting paradigm of symptom reduction as a measure of success in mental health treatment discuss the over-prescribing of psychiatric medication, especially to young boys, and how meds potentially prevent us from feeling the very things we want to feel speculate on humans’ reduced ability to cope with trauma and discomfort discuss the weaknesses of popular therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) talk about target fixation discuss how we can do what we want, stay aligned with our values, AND simultaneously feel like shit speak to toxic positivity and how we cannot think our way out of discomfort touch on religious trauma and how religion perpetuates pain avoidance reveal the “miracle question” every person can ask themselves to stay aligned with their values even in the midst of discomfort Subscribe!

In this candid conversation with Megan Buer, founder of Harmony Restored and the Rooted In Health healing system, we connect over similar pasts growing up in fundamentalist, patriarchal religions, expose the emotional trauma in women from the cult of toxic wellness culture, and discuss how emotions get trapped in our bodies. Megan shares her work as an Emotion Code practitioner and shifts the paradigm that symptoms are "bad" and need to be gotten rid of to revealing that symptoms are our bodies' amazing way of communicating with us that they are healing. We expose the guilt, shame, and inadequacy that women with fundamentalist religious backgrounds experience and how falling prey to toxic wellness culture is akin to being in a narcissistic, abusive relationship or cult. Megan emphasizes, "There is no magic pill. There is no guru. YOU are the guru!" Finally, Megan gives listeners valuable action steps they can take if they've forgotten how to listen to and reconnect to Self. Subscribe!

Are you constantly worried about your romantic relationships? Do you find yourself wondering if you and your partner are "supposed" to be together, if you're right for each other, if they're cheating on your or going to leave you? This is relationship anxiety and OCD. And, there's help! In this episode, I interview Chelsea Horton, a relationship anxiety specialist and body-mind integration expert. We talk about identifying relationship anxiety and the help and community that's available if you're experiencing relationship anxiety as a trauma response. We also discuss embodying emotions -- giving emotions full reign to be felt, moved, and processed by the body. For example, if sadness had a dance, what would it be? Or, if fear had a movement, how would it look? Furthermore, Chelsea explains how pole dancing has been a tool in her trauma-healing toolbox because it's allowed her to access her inner "bad girl" and embody all aspects of herself without shame. You'll gain insight on how dance, movement, and embodiment can be a powerful tool for dealing with relationship anxiety and general trauma-healing. Subscribe!

I'm a natural-crunchy-hippie-health freak, and I caused myself to suffer with debilitating anxiety and insomnia for months because of my desire to stay "100% natural" and for fear of side effects and dependency of psychiatric medications. In this episode, I'm sharing why I finally got to the point of asking for the help of pharmaceuticals and how I used them with purpose and intention as I excavated trauma and its resulting unhealthy coping skills, codependency, limiting beliefs, toxic thoughts, and fear. I dive into DNA mutations, pharmacogenetics, and why working with a skilled psychiatrist will yield a better, more therapeutic experience than going to the general practitioner. This episode is not intended to encourage or discourage the use of psychiatric medication; rather, it is to share my perspective, as an "anti-medication" person who finally stopped resisting the help of meds and used them to empower myself, move beyond fear, and work on healing trauma.

This podcast explores toxic wellness culture and how it invalidates trauma and keeps us stuck. It discusses the cycle of illness perpetuated by toxic wellness culture and the negative impact it has on mental and physical health. The speakers emphasize the importance of healing trauma and breaking free from the obsession with symptoms and external fixes. They challenge the idea that symptoms should be fixed and advocate for a paradigm shift in how we think about health and wellness. The podcast also highlights the importance of embracing one's humanity and intuitively healing trauma for holistic well-being.

The current definitions of trauma are woefully inadequate and much too broad, neglecting those of us who do deal with trauma's mysterious effects on our bodies, minds, and emotions. In this episode, I offer a new and more complete definition of trauma. Of particular interest is how trauma manifests as chronic illness or pain, how it affects the autonomic nervous system, and a (perhaps) prescriptive way of defining trauma from a place of consciousness.
