Let's talk for a second about wake and baking... With my one-on-one plant medicine coaching clients there is a common reoccurrence.

A lot of people who have PTSD especially childhood trauma tend to wake and bake.

Why is that?

If you have ever been woken up by an abusive parent, partner, or sibling, you might wake up with nausea.

That's because for those split seconds when you wake up in the morning and don't know where you are your fight or flight is activated and once you snap into focus and realize that you are safe you are just left with the nausea from your body reacting.

There is a lot of nuance to this and it's definitely more complex than just that, but if you wake and bake there might be a connection to nausea and a traumatic event that happened and woke you up.

This is why I recommend working with me or someone else on a one-on-one coaching program for plant medicine and aftercare.

Realizations like this are a lot to tackle on your own as you process the emotions and breakthroughs.

Wake and baking isn't just a stoner trait it's a coping mechanism for some.

I made a video about this on TikTok and currently it's got over 50,000 likes and I've gotten so many messages from people who said they burst into tears when they saw it.

I understand why, when we have a breakthrough we can burst into tears because of relief, because of validation or just because of realizations.
