76_Healing Trauma Through Spirituality_ Monica Robbins' Journey to Inner Peace
Monday, 17 November, 2025
Monica Robbins, LMSW, is a social worker and spiritual coach who guides clients in healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction, using spirituality, mindfulness, and EMDR to help them connect to their true nature and overcome limiting narratives.Monica Robbins, LMSW, began healing from complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) through a spiritual awakening at age 16. This transformative experience sparked her interest in the intersection of spirituality and healing, inspiring her to explore how to live from an awakened perspective. Through this journey, Monica successfully healed from C-PTSD and no longer meets the diagnostic criteria for the condition.Monica is dedicated to guiding others toward healing and awakening by helping them consciously connect with their true nature and overcome the limiting narratives that keep them stuck. As a licensed social worker, she integrates spirituality, mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support clients struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and addiction recovery. For non-clinical clients, Monica offers coaching and mentoring to those seeking to awaken to their true nature or navigate the stories that hinder their self-realization. She also provides support for individuals who have experienced a spiritual awakening but need guidance to remain present through challenging narratives and experiences.I had an awesome conversation with Monica Robbins, a licensed social worker who's turned her own journey through complex PTSD and a profound spiritual awakening at 16 into a passion for helping others heal. We dove into how spirituality intersects with mental health, exploring her path from chaos and abuse to finding inner peace. Monica shared practical tools like mindfulness, EMDR, breathing techniques, and self-compassion practices that she uses with clients dealing with trauma, anxiety, and addiction. It was inspiring to hear about her favorite teachers like Eckhart Tolle and Adyashanti and how true healing comes from letting go of limiting stories and embracing the present moment. She's excited about guiding more people toward awakening and deep recovery, blending clinical work with spiritual coaching.
