Carolina Sotomayor Episode 59

ASK CAROLINA ANYTHING

Starting a journey of conceiving can be exciting, but also overwhelming and stressful, especially if you have experienced trauma in your life. In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked connection between trauma and fertility, and how trauma can impact your ability to conceive and have a healthy pregnancy.

We begin by defining trauma and discussing some common types of trauma that can affect people, such as childhood abuse, physical assault, or emotional neglect. 

Next, we delve into the importance of considering your trauma history when planning to conceive and seeking appropriate support and care. We discuss some potential strategies for healing trauma and reducing its impacts on fertility, such as therapy, self-care practices, and alternative therapies like Reiki. 

We also explore the role of mindset and energy in fertility, and how trauma can lower your vibration and affect your ability to attract the right conditions for conception. Finally, we offer some practical tips for managing trauma and enhancing your fertility, such as setting realistic expectations, practicing self-compassion, and cultivating a supportive network of people.

By the end of this episode, you will have a deeper understanding of what could be trauma and how that could be impacting your fertility.-  So join us for this important conversation, and remember: your trauma matters, but it doesn't define your fertility.

What you'll learn:
1:50 Things no one tell you about when you are trying to conceive
2:14 How trauma affects your fertility
6:06 "The more we heal upfront, the easier those seasons will be"
