Is It Bring Your Trauma To Work Day?

Life since 2020 has been traumatising for everyone, but we all bring our own flavour of trauma coping to every day, regardless of whether it's a Big News Day or a Tuesday. So, let's talk about it.

How You Bring Your Trauma To Work

When you look back on your childhood, do you think it was pretty much perfect, but you have gaps? You might be hiding things from yourself. It's a common coping mechanism. Listen to the Freeze and Friend/Fawn sections in particular in my latest Like A Bardess podcast.

If you're aware that you've had some trauma in the past, however, you may already be aware that you have patterns of trauma response, and that you're taking them into relationships and your business. The podcast will help you iron this all out for yourself, and it'll only take half an hour of your time (or 15 if you double speed it). I recommend you take notes, and re-listen until you have it down.

In the podcast, I break down the following trauma responses, and how you're bringing them to your business:

Fight
Flight
Freeze
Fawn

Fight

Flame wars
Spamming
Threats
Drama
Defending
Cancelling
Too much 'Us vs. Them' marketing

Flight

Not posting
Inconsistency
Not taking a stand
Not closing on sales calls
Not paying/refunding
Refusing to commit to anything/anyone

Freeze

Indecision
Perfection paralysis
Never speaking up
Not doing the work

Friend/Fawn

Positive vibes only mentality
No blocking
No boundaries
People pleasing
Vanilla/Bland
De-selfing
No focus on own needs
Co-dependency

More accurately, remember your gifts. Remember you are gifted with some unique skills and blessings. If you live to 100 you may discover them all, but why wait when you can see how many you already found, and find out the buried treasure in you that's still a mystery?
