Triumph After Trauma
Welcome friend! I'm Kaitey, and I'm so happy we're connected!
Through my teens I felt incredibly alone, hopeless, and didn't have any tools to help myself escape the darkness that was severe anxiety and depression. Now that I'm in a healthier place years later, I have created Triumph After Trauma in hopes of preventing you from feeling as alone or hopeless as I once did, and providing you with tools and resources that will help you navigate really tough shit in life when the universes decides to rock your world.
Triumph After Trauma is all about mental health, understanding ourselves better, sharing my life with you, and reassuring you if I can constantly navigate hard shit but find ways to still thrive in my life, SO CAN YOU! Let's get navigating this messy, beautiful, intense thing we call life together <3

Ep. 76: Ways To Tell If You're Experiencing Trauma
Welcome back to Triumph After Trauma, friends!
If you're new here, I'm so glad you found my podcast and we're now connected! Welcome to the community!
Sometimes we go through something in life that deeply affects us, but we can't quite tell if what we're feeling is categorized as trauma or if what we're stuck in is a state of trauma. This can happen to any of us - especially when an experience or sudden life change hits us like a freight train and we go into survival mode. When we are focused on (maybe barely) surviving each day, focusing on anything else can feel impossible.
There comes a time when we finally feel like we can start baby steps in healing. and we need to figure out what types of tools, resources, coping mechanisms, and support we need. Knowing how your body and mind have reacted or are reacting to an experience can help you do that.
If you're not sure if what you're experiencing and feeling can be considered trauma, there are some signs you can look out for. Today friends, we're having a conversation about what some of the common signs are that we're experiencing trauma or are actually stuck in a state of trauma.
If you resonate with this or the conversation hits home with you, feel free to DM me on Instagram (thisiskaitey is my handle), so we can connect more! If you know someone who needs to hear this, share the episode on social media and tag me so I can thank you for helping spread the word about Triumph After Trauma. I'm so dang grateful we're connected <3
