Does navigating your career feel like walking through a minefield? Nothing you do is ever right. It seems like your boss pushes your buttons on purpose. And no matter how hard you work, nobody ever appreciates what you do.

People are beginning to understand that trauma is at the root of why their life is not going the way they want. But before you stop reading, you have to know that trauma is not what most people think. You don’t have to have had an over the top horrible childhood to have “trauma responses” that will hold you back in your career. 

You don’t have to look far to find a million quotes and memes about how certain behaviors are actually trauma responses.  

• Perfectionism 
• Having trouble standing up for yourself
• Saying yes all the time (even when you don’t want to) 
• Feeling like you have do it all by yourself
• Staying super busy ALL the time
• Feeling reactive and triggered all the time. 
• Always being the one to help

The fact is, many people who have these issues would never think they had trauma in their life.

But for many these issues take a toll in their careers and personal lives. They are burning out. Feeling on edge makes it impossible to get work done. They work hard and get taken advantage of. They procrastinate, fear failure, and don’t finish projects. And ultimately they don’t feel happy.  

Check out this episode of Be the Wolf to learn what the actual definition of trauma is. And to hear Kathryn Wells’ story about creating success in her business through healing her trauma.
