About this episode
Lesley Cain discusses the emotional and physical reactions trauma survivors may experience when a long chapter of trauma comes to a close.
Hey, Survivor! After 8 years, the jury in the murder trial reached a verdict—and my body reacted before my mind could catch up. Can you relate? In this episode, I’m talking about what happens in the nervous system when a long season of trauma, hypervigilance, stress, and uncertainty may finally be ending. We often think closure will feel peaceful, but trauma survivors can experience shaking, overwhelm, nausea, emotional flooding, and exhaustion when closure finally comes. I share insights on trauma healing, nervous system regulation, emotional wellness, and the practical grounding tools helping me stay present during this deeply emotional week. If you’ve ever waited a long time for justice, clarity, or the end of a painful chapter, this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen now and remember: When your body shakes, your spirit wakes. Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are. 💚Lesley Book your call here. Become a Vibrant Survivor insider here. Let's connect on IG!
