Trauma Recovery: Taking Your Power Back, Who to Work with, & Truth about Tools & Self-Help
dimanche 14 décembre 2025 • Duration 53:21
In this episode I (Carly Ann) am honoured to sit with mental health counsellor Lara Land for an honest and important conversation about trauma and recovery.
As you will hear, Lara is a compassionate expert - she is qualified, realistic, and so passionate which is what this podcast is all about.
This is really one not to be missed if you are interested in trauma recovery for yourself or clients.
We talk about trauma, without quick fixes or overwhelming explanations. This episode explores how trauma affects the nervous system, why healing is deeply connected to safety and choice, and how recovery can unfold at a pace that feels supportive rather than scary.
- We discuss:What trauma is and how it impacts the nervous system
- What recovery looks like
- Choosing the right person to work with
- Why choice and autonomy matter
- What support trauma therapy to be effective
- Good practice in trauma recovery (great if you’re looking for a therapist)
- Why some tools work for certain moments and not others
- How awareness and journaling can help interrupt familiar patterns
This episode is for anyone who wants a clearer, more compassionate understanding of trauma and what healing truly involves

Understanding Your Self-Sabotage: Why It Happens + A Tool to Break It
dimanche 7 décembre 2025 • Duration 23:17
Listen if you self-sabotage
If you’ve ever wondered why you keep falling into the same habits, the same blocks, or the same frustrating cycles, this episode is going to hit home. I'm diving deep into self-sabotage (the quiet, often unconscious ways you get in your own way and hold yourself back from the life, relationships, success, and happiness you’re trying to create)
You’ll hear why these repeat patterns show up again and again, even when you know what you “should” be doing, and even when you genuinely want things to change. We explore the inner mechanisms that trigger self-sabotage, the hidden beliefs that keep you stuck, and the subtle ways your mind tries to protect you by doing the opposite of what you need.
And because awareness is only the first step, this episode also includes a powerful guided exercise designed to help you interrupt these patterns and start shifting them in real time.
If you’re tired of being the one thing standing between you and your goals… if you’re ready to understand why you keep repeating the same self-sabotaging behaviours… and if you want a practical tool you can use anytime you feel yourself slipping back into old patterns - you’ll want to listen all the way through.
