Carrie Davidson is a registered nurse, certified trauma recovery coach, and author. With fifteen years of healthcare experience, much of it spent on a cardiac and oncology step-down floor, she dedicated her career to caring for others using the same hypervigilance that a childhood of chaos had wired into her own nervous system.
She is, as she puts it, “a collage of a human being”: the nurse who became her own patient. Her memoir, Addicted to Trauma: A Memoir of CPTSD, Addiction, and Taking My Life Back (She Writes Press), traces the patterns that nearly killed her back to their origins and tells the story of her recovery as the rewrite.
Today, as the founder of Conscious Coaching Collective in Durham, North Carolina, Carrie helps high-achieving women who are exhausted from holding it all together. Through her Conscious Creation Method—a synthesis of polyvagal theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and complex trauma recovery work—she teaches that the nervous system is not broken, healing is not linear, and creativity is not a luxury but a form of medicine.
She believes that the pause between trigger and response is where freedom lives and that no one becomes someone new; rather, they clear away enough rubble to come home to who they already were.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:
- That your nervous system’s survival patterns are adaptive responses, not personal flaws.
- How unresolved trauma can appear as anxiety, exhaustion, and repeated life patterns.
- Why people-pleasing is a trauma response that often hides behind high-functioning behavior.
- How creating space between triggers and reactions unlocks greater freedom and self-control.
- That creativity can be a powerful daily tool for healing and nervous system regulation.
- Why lasting recovery requires consistent practice rather than quick-fix solutions.
- How to recognize and rewrite inherited patterns that no longer serve your life.
- That healing is not a straight line, and setbacks can still be signs of progress.
- Why understanding trauma responses creates more compassion for yourself and others.
- How returning to your authentic self becomes possible when survival patterns are released.
