Show Notes
In this episode, we explore why slow and steady pacing in psychotherapy often leads to deeper, safer, and more lasting healing, and how moving too quickly can sometimes make things harder rather than easier.
By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to:
- Understand why going faster in trauma work can sometimes slow progress or increase symptoms
- Recognise how the nervous system responds to overwhelm and why pacing matters
- Learn what titration is and how working in small, manageable doses supports healing
- Identify signs that your current pace is helping - or quietly getting in the way
- Develop a more compassionate, realistic sense of how to find a pace that prioritises safety and regulation
Whether you’re in therapy, considering it, or doing your own inner work, this episode offers a grounded framework for understanding how fast is actually helpful in trauma healing.
