This episode focuses on reconnecting with the inner child, tuning into the physical body, and honoring emotional truth—all essential elements in the recovery process.

Through heartfelt conversation and personal insights, they discuss how survivors of trauma often disconnect from their inner voice and bodily signals as a survival mechanism. Recovery, they explain, involves gently rebuilding that connection, learning to trust your instincts, and embracing the wisdom within.

]]> Joining Chris and Beverley is special guest Elaine Wilkins, who is a published author and multi-Award winning founder of ‘The Chrysalis Effect’ a Trauma Informed Coaching organization that delivers the first ever: Trauma-informed Recovery Pathway’ for those suffering with multiple symptoms including ME, CFS, fibromyalgia and Long Covid post viral fatigue.

 

Her own 6 year illness left her bedbound with no treatment plan. Her subsequent recovery from chronic fatigue syndrome was the catalyst to her 15 year journey to transform the attitude, approach and accessibility of recovery from fatigue related illnesses.

 

Her work has supported over 5000 people to recover their health, delivered ground-breaking trauma informed accredited courses for therapists and clinicians, building an incredible team of trauma informed recovery specialists. Her dream of a holistic trauma informed recovery pathway being immediately accessible at point of GP referral became reality in 2022. If you have any questions please contact us on:

The fear of being judged, or called a liar.

In this raw and authentic conversation they also talk about overcoming the messages and beliefs inside to release the shame and how to move forward.
