About this listen

In this episode of Mindful Mornings with Mabel, Mabel reflects on trauma, shame, and self-compassion through the lens of Bessel van der Kolk’s work. She explores how shame often forms around survival behaviors during traumatic experiences—and why judging past versions of ourselves through present-day awareness can block healing. This gentle morning reflection invites listeners to release self-blame, soften toward their nervous system, and recognize that survival is not a moral failure.
