EP 09: How Trauma Deceives Us Into Making Agreements with Jean Masukevich
Trauma is insidious—it reaches into the core of our beings and it covertly impacts our everyday lives.
In today’s episode, my personal coach, Jean Masukevich, is joining me again to discuss trauma and how it deceives us into making agreements, why we make them in the first place, and how agreements covertly impact us. In the past, we covered collective trauma and how it’s showing itself during this pandemic in Episode 5. In Episode 6, we explored how to use our personal story as an entry point to healing. And in Episode 7, we discussed systemic injustice, embodied trauma, and doing the inner work.
I share examples of my own agreements and how from a very early age, I was deceived into making them. I also share how the trauma I endured left me open to being attacked in the same way throughout my life.
