I am grateful for the opportunity to introduce you to Athena Vaughn. This episode is titled Surviving Trauma and Finding Recovery. Athena was kind and brave enough to share her story with me. I’d like to offer a trigger warning as some of the stories she shares may be challenging to hear. Her ability to speak her story with such clarity is a true gift. She believes that by sharing her experiences it can help others and I agree. 🙂

- The difference is between CPTSD and PTSD.
- What is Kundalini yoga?
- The transition to a safe place.
- How Athena has learned to heal her traumatic experiences?
- How to deal with trauma in yoga?
- Where do we draw the line between trauma and illness?
- Sharing her own story.
Athena’s bio:
I am Athena Vaughn. I am a wife, mom of 3, Trauma-Informed Spiritual Mentor, Yoga Practitioner, & Yoga Instructor. Throughout my life I’ve been on a long journey of Self Enlightenment & Self Love & Healing. I’ve studied Psychology, Philosophy & Somatic Trauma Recovery. I myself, have CPTSD from a long history in my own childhood. All that I have learned & implemented in my own life made me want to give this knowledge to help others heal from their own life wounds & traumas. So they too may life their lives to the fullest. I use a blend of Therapeutic Practices, Nervous System Regulation, Polyvagel Theory, Movement, Breath-work, Somatic & Energetic Practices, Yogic Philosophies & Spiritual Practices with myself and clients.
