#50 Trauma (Big 'T' and Little 't' Trauma) and Why We Need To Be Better At Talking About It
Manage episode 445237144 series 3524816
I believe we all experience some kind of trauma in our lifetime. And it's often a tricky/taboo subject for some people. I wish to invite change in that, so that we can perhaps all heal a bit more over our traumas; small or large, from recently or many years ago.
Trigger Warning! — I speak a little about birth trauma.
WARNING! - I talk about Father Christmas at 15 minutes 50 seconds to 16 minutes 15 seconds.
In this episode I speak about:
- the gaslighting that can so often happen when speaking about our trauma
- birth trauma; my experience of it and the huge effect it can have on families
- the work of Dr Rebecca Moore and the Birth Trauma Conference
- 'silver linings', why there sometimes aren't any and how trauma can't always be 'swept under the rug'
- Gabor Maté's work on trauma and his documentary 'The Wisdom Of Trauma'
- being bullied and the positives of 'bad' things happening to us
- post-traumatic growth
- one person's trauma isn't the same for another and validating your own feelings
I share quotes from Gabor Maté, Alan Turing, Leonard Cohen, Brené Brown and Mark Groves.
I mention the book 'How To Heal A Bad Birth' by Debby Gould and Melissa J. Bruijn, that helped me a lot after birth trauma.
Here is a link to the blog piece I mention about trauma that's on my website.
Here is some more information on Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG).
Themes: trauma, birth trauma, healing, addiction, post-traumatic growth
At the end of the podcast I share a poem by Tanya Markul.
