Summary
This week's blog Panic Attacks: The Facts
In this quick chat episode, we delve into the profound relationship between childhood trauma and its impact on physical health. Our guest, Lauren of Love, a Healing Teacher and Mentor, shares her personal journey of overcoming deep-seated trauma. Lauren's childhood trauma left her struggling with issues such as weight gain, low self-esteem, chronic illnesses, and an overwhelming burden of emotional pain and unworthiness. These challenges led her to numerous rock-bottom moments. At one point, Lauren found herself relying on medications to numb the pain and depression, just to make it through her day. The turning point came when Lauren decided to confront the underlying causes of her myriad health problems – her unresolved trauma.
Lauren firmly believes in the power of healing and transformation. She has emerged as a Self-Healing Teacher and Spiritual Guide, specialising in helping women who are committed to transforming their lives. Her mission is to guide women toward their own inner truth and path of healing. You can find Lauren at her WEBSITE and on INSTAGRAM
