The Trauma Coach: Why You're Not Addicted, You're Avoiding Yourself
Manage episode 513684766 series 1953450
When life gets loud, do you reach for connection—or for a coping mechanism?
In this vulnerable conversation, trauma-informed coach Nina Vasquez makes a bold case: most of us aren’t “addicted”… we’re avoiding ourselves.
We explore what it means to stop numbing and start feeling, and how shame, isolation, and disconnection from the body keep us stuck in the same loop.
In this episode, we dive into:
• The difference between isolation and solitude—and why one heals while the other hides.
• How shame keeps you small and disconnected from your truth.
• Why nervous-system safety is the foundation of all healing.
• Body-based tools to release stored emotion—breath, sound, shaking, and movement.
• How mirror work and eye contact rebuild self-trust and compassion.
• The shame–numb–shame spiral behind alcohol, food, and scrolling.
• Simple ways to start living a SELF-led life, AFAF.
