How TRAUMA Is Preventing Your Progress In Fitness

Are you asking yourself right now… What does trauma have to do with my progress in fitness?

Well, the answer is… A LOT.

A traumatic experience (big or small) (past or present) can affect personal actions, choices, and lifestyle. Also, trauma can find a permanent home in cells and can create havoc on your physiology.

As a long time women’s Coach with a psychology degree, I have witnessed countless women overreact to eating something, shut down because a workout didn’t go as expected, panic, avoid communication, rage, disappear and simply be unable to “cope” with the overwhelming urge to binge, restrict, workout excessively, or resort to other unhealthy behaviours.

So, my job is to look for signs of trauma to help explain their resistance to change and their bodies’ response to coaching.
