In this episode of Life Made Easier, Tiffany Hunter, PhD and Karen Janes, DClinPsy delve into the complex topic of trauma and its relationship with energy healing. They begin by discussing the various forms of trauma, from significant life events to smaller, cumulative experiences that can impact emotional well-being. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing how trauma can manifest in the body and the necessity of processing these emotions to achieve healing. The hosts highlight the differences between traditional talking therapies and energy healing, advocating for a combined approach to effectively address trauma and its effects on the body and mind.

Dr. Janes and Dr. Hunter explore the metaphor of trauma as boulders, pebbles, and grains of sand, illustrating how different experiences can accumulate and affect individuals. They stress the importance of professional support in navigating trauma and the potential for energy healing to facilitate emotional release without the need for extensive verbal processing. The episode concludes with a reminder to be gentle with oneself during the healing journey and to seek help when needed, reinforcing the idea that healing is often a non-linear process that may require a blend of therapeutic approaches.

What if trauma isn't only about what happened, but about what your body is still holding?

In this episode of Life Made Easier, Tiffany Hunter, PhD and Karen Janes, DClinPsy explore trauma through an energy healing perspective, offering a grounded and compassionate way to understand why past experiences can still affect us in the present. They discuss trauma as stored emotional energy in the body, a perspective often explored in energy healing and somatic approaches.

They describe trauma not only as big, obvious events, but also as smaller, repeated experiences that were never fully processed or supported. This stored energy can show up as feeling triggered, stuck, self-critical, anxious, or unable to move on, even when life seems stable.

Importantly, Tiffany and Karen explain that healing does not require knowing the full story, remembering what happened, or retelling difficult experiences. Trauma can be worked with even when memories are unclear or unavailable, because the body and energy system still hold the information.

They discuss resonance, triggers, and why pacing, safety, and the right kind of support matter when working with trauma. This episode offers a reassuring starting point for anyone who feels impacted by their past and wants a gentler, body-based way to understand what's happening.

What if meditation didn't require stillness, silence, or extra time you don't have in your day?

In this episode of Life Made Easier, Tiffany Hunter, PhD, and Karen Janes, DClinPsy talk about meditation in the context of busy, ordinary life. The conversation looks at common assumptions about meditation, why many people struggle to sustain formal practices, and how comfort, attention, and realism shape whether meditation is actually workable.

They discuss short, simple ways people can relate to meditation without forcing calm or trying to "do it right," and introduce the pendulum meditation as an example of working with movement, gravity, and attention. Rather than positioning meditation as another task to master, the episode stays with how meditation can be integrated gently into daily life.
