Strong Like Water with Aundi Kolber, Enneagram 4

On this potentially life-changing new episode, we get to talk to acclaimed author Aundi Kolber, LMHC about trauma care and recovery as we honor the trauma level we are at (even if it's just early safety building) and begin to systemically build out a flowing strength and resiliency together - wow!


As we chat, Aundi walks us through her brand-new book, Strong Like Water, and shares actual trauma tools with us on the air. There are dozens more pieces to grow you inside her book as well, and I'm so grateful to pace myself as I read through it again post-show.


As Aundi reminds us today with multiple pieces of training and tips, we are made for more than just surviving.


More, as a trauma survivor, she is leading the way here!


As Aundi helps you to process safety and to understand your trauma symptoms more thoroughly. she walks us through us the freedom and compassion to walk with one another through these phases in marriage and friendships as well!


Topics you'll learn today on the episode:


- Why trauma takes root
 - Neuroception
- Window of tolerance
- Different trauma/safety responses
- How Enneagram relates as you integrate/disintegrate in personality structure
- Polyvagal theory
- How marriage can heal trauma and how we can come alongside spouses
- Grounding, containment, and more techniques
- Coregulation and how to coregulate for one another and even regulate yourself
- An offering for how God, the author of compassionate resourcing, gives us "experiential with-ness" as we look at the lens of Psalm 23 & John 10:10


My favorite piece of today is that above all, Aundi's work combines beautifully to give us fresh hope, something we all need as we begin a new week.
