In this episode

In this episode, Toni explores the concept of trauma identity, discussing how individuals often operate from trauma responses rather than genuine reactions.

She identifies three primary personas that trauma survivors may embody: the fixer, the doer, and the nice guy/girl. Each persona reflects coping mechanisms developed in response to childhood trauma, impacting relationships and personal growth.

Toni emphasizes the importance of recognizing these identities to transition from surviving to thriving, encouraging listeners to explore their own trauma responses and seek healing.
