Episode 1: From Surviving to Healing: Understanding Trauma, PTSD, and Tools for Change

Welcome to Beyond Survival: A Pathway to Peace, hosted by Naomi Stanchfield. If you're living with the effects of trauma or PTSD, this episode is a compassionate space where your experiences and healing matter. In this powerful first episode, Naomi shares her personal journey from living in survival mode to seeking authentic peace and healing. She breaks down the definition of trauma and PTSD in clear, relatable terms, exploring who is affected, why symptoms develop, and how trauma can impact your mind and body. You'll hear why trauma is subjective, why comparing your pain does a disservice to healing, and why labels like "little t/big T" trauma don't tell the full story.​ Naomi explains the body's survival response and demystifies what it means to be "stuck" in anxiety or overwhelm. She illustrates why some develop PTSD after trauma while others do not, and how your body's attempts to protect you are actually natural—even if they no longer serve you. With stories and science, you'll get practical insight into recovery and self-understanding.​ You won't just learn what trauma is—you'll discover three simple, actionable practices to help you begin your healing journey now: • Grounding through body awareness • Safe place visualization • Gentle mindful movement Naomi offers gentle reminders that healing isn't about perfection; it's about showing up for yourself, one small step at a time. Listeners are invited to join a supportive community, seek professional help if needed, and connect for future episodes on building a life beyond trauma.​ If this episode resonates with you, please subscribe, share, and join Naomi on social media for ongoing encouragement and thoughtful new content.
