Prior to dedicating himself to helping people make meaningful shifts in their lives, Colin worked successfully for a decade in Swiss banking. Today, as the founding partner of Whole Human Coaching, Colin is on a mission to help people discover their humanity to change the world. He holds an MBA from Saint Xavier University and a Bachelor\u2019s in Political Science, History, and French from Simon Fraser University.\u00a0Colin joins me today to discuss what happens when insight opens us up to going deeper into who we are, how we are, and who we want to be in the world. He shares how letters from his late mother started his journey into uncovering unrecognized early childhood trauma. He describes how he began working on his trauma through therapy and studying and discusses his road to spiritual awakening. Colin also discusses how he is drawing from his personal experiences to help younger people who tend to make decisions through the lens of earlier childhood trauma.\u00a0\u201cWatch and be aware of the coping mechanisms in your day-to-day life. If you can go find the origin story of that mechanism, it can be liberating.\u201d - Colin Kingsmill\u00a0This week on the Trauma Hiders Club Podcast:\u00a0\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How Colin and I connected and our thoughts on Tinder and PodMatch\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What Colin is hiding the most right now\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How the answer isn\u2019t always the answer in coaching\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Practicing being fully me\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Letters from Colin\u2019s mother and how they impacted him\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Colin\u2019s childhood and how his life was framed by unrecognized trauma\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Why Colin\u2019s father gave him his mother\u2019s letters to her best friend\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The kind of person Colin thinks he would have become if he did not receive the letters\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0People-pleasing and other classic trauma hider behavior\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The two chapters of Colin\u2019s life\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Reading everything and doing nothing, and our experience with mindfulness and meditation practices\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The gas tank metaphor and how Colin helps younger people uncover earlier childhood trauma\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Inner child work and how your inner child drives your buses\u00a0Resources Mentioned:\u00a0\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Book: The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0App: Waking Up (https://www.wakingup.com/)\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0App: Calm (https://www.calm.com/)\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0App: Inkblot Therapy (https://www.inkblottherapy.com/)\u00a0Connect with Colin Kingsmill:\u00a0\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Colin Kingsmill Website (https://colinkingsmill.com/)\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Colin Kingsmill on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/colinkingsmill/?originalSubdomain=ca)\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Colin Kingsmill on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/colin_kingsmill/)\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Colin Kingsmill on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/colin.kingsmill/)\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Colin Kingsmill on Twitter (https://twitter.com/@colin_kingsmill)\u00a0Where High Achievers Get Through Shit - TOGETHER\u00a0Thanks for tuning into this week\u2019s episode of Trauma Hiders Club \u2018The Podcast\u2019 with Karen Goldfinger Baker.
