Why do you always feel on guard, even when nothing seems to be wrong? What if your constant overthinking, anxiety, and fear are connected to unresolved childhood experiences and complex trauma?In this episode of Coaching with Mendy, I sit down with Marina Triner, a somatic practitioner and fellow advocate for deeper emotional healing, to explore complex trauma, hypervigilance, inner child work, generational trauma, and nervous system regulation.Marina shares her personal journey of discovering how childhood experiences, relational dynamics, and unresolved trauma can shape the way we think, feel, and respond to the world around us. We explore why some people constantly scan their surroundings for danger, struggle to feel safe, or find themselves repeating unhealthy patterns in relationships.Together, we discuss how somatic experiencing, parts work, emotional awareness, and co-regulation can help us reconnect with our bodies and develop a healthier relationship with our emotions.✨ IN THIS EPISODE, WE EXPLORE:What complex trauma is and how it affects everyday life.Hypervigilance and why you constantly feel on guard.How childhood experiences influence adult relationships and behaviors.The connection between inner child wounds and emotional triggers.How somatic experiencing helps reconnect the mind and body.Understanding fight, flight, and freeze responses.How generational trauma can influence your beliefs and emotional patterns.Why you may repeatedly attract unhealthy relationships.How parts work and inner child healing support emotional awareness.Why overthinking can be a way of avoiding uncomfortable emotions.How to recognize when you're experiencing a trauma response.The importance of co-regulation and feeling emotionally safe.Practical ways to calm your nervous system and reconnect with your body.💡 WHY YOU ALWAYS FEEL ON GUARDHypervigilance can make you constantly scan your environment, anticipate problems, and interpret situations as potential threats, even when you're currently safe.As Marina explains, many of the patterns we developed in childhood were once adaptations that helped us navigate difficult environments. The goal isn't to judge those protective responses, but to develop awareness and learn healthier ways of responding.You don't have to remain stuck in survival mode.
