Originally launched for Mental Health Awareness Month last May, I hosted a weekly series on Instagram called Wound Care. As we head into a new month, I thought this would be a great time to revisit it.

Ep 07: Fight or flight: Wait there's more? Shining light on the 5 Evolutionary Trauma Responses
Description: In this episode of the Lightcast, we shed light on the 5 trauma responses: fight, flight, freeze, flop, and fawn. Taking us back to the primal survival instincts of our ancestors and how they have adapted to the psychological stressors of modern-day. Discussing the impact of this evolutionary response on the body, how it shows up in intimate relationships, and ending with 5 ways to help calm an overactive stress response.
Episode 04 of Lightcast with Stephanie Gast Now Available
In this episode of the Lightcast, we shed light on the cycle of Intergenerational Trauma. Intergenerational trauma is trauma that gets passed down from one generation to the next. We begin with a brief history of how it was first identified in the children of Holocaust survivors and move to explore how trauma is passed on. More specifically, we will focus on how emotional neglect is commonly passed on from generation to generation. Using a lemonade analogy, and a personal example, I hope to shed light on this cycle and give you an introduction to this vast topic.

Wound Care: A Weekly Offering for Mental Health Awareness Month
Wound Care is a 4-week offering/challenge to take time for yourself and turn your attention towards uncovering and understanding the trauma that has been surfacing in our bodies/communities this past year. The vision is that you will take this 15-minute practice into the rest of your week and your weekly practice into the rest of your month as a way to lean into more awareness around your mental, physical, and emotional health so that you may take this health back into your community.
Dear ones,
It has been much too long since we have been able to breathe together without fear.
Wound Care is a 4-week offering/challenge to take time for yourself and turn your attention towards uncovering and understanding the trauma that has been surfacing in our bodies/communities this past year. I’ll be hosting it on Instagram Live under @CompassionateRevolt every Friday in May from 9-915am PDT.
The vision is that you will take this 15-minute practice into the rest of your week and your weekly practice into the rest of your month as a way to lean into more awareness around your mental, physical, and emotional health so that you may take this health back into your community.
Think of it as a little first aid for your spirit.
This practice is just a beginning. It is just the initial peeling back to face what needs to be healed. Everyone is welcome. The shape will be one of gentle movement and breath to start to explore and nurture a compassionate relationship to the tender place that lies at the intersection of mind, body, and external world. Since we will be meeting virtually you will be able to set up your space as needed for your individual safety and comfort while knowing that you are practicing with your community.
Come as you are. Do what you can. Let us move back into breath together.
Wounded but healing,
T
