Ep 8 Are You Stuck In Trauma? Recognizing What’s Holding You Back - Season 4 of The Plant Your Seeds of Transformation Podcast with Coach Donna Marie

In the last episode, I talked about how having high expectations within the wrong context can get you stuck in perfectionism. In this episode, I discuss specific things that may help you recognize what is holding you back from obtaining your goals, especially in terms of signs of trauma.

In episode 3, you will be challenged to define what resilience is for yourself and to think about how to prepare yourself for the unexpected so you can bounce back more effectively. This is season 4 for the Plant Your Seeds of Transformation Podcast with Coach Donna Marie. She continues the conversation about what can help you survive and thrive after traumas and crises... and, again, reminds you that perfectionism is counter-productive and even destructive to this process of trauma recovery.
