In Joy Life with Mattie Jackson

11. Re-Meeting the Child in You with Laura Williams, LPC


Listen Later

Do you feel like you’re floundering in the wake of a hard loss? Or are you crushing it, thriving by cultural metrics, and yet don’t feel happy?

Well, we have just the counselor for you! And I do mean licensed professional counselor, writer, and podcaster, Laura Williams. 

Laura’s practice specializes in developmental and relational trauma (yes, we will learn what that means here), and her ultimate goal with all her clients and listeners is: “to help you heal the wounds that keep you from yourself.” Heck. Yes.

We talk about the things that most often keep us from freedom as adults, and she offers clinical, spiritual, and incredibly practical strategies to find and begin processing our trauma points.

Some key takeaways from Laura:

  • Everyone has trauma; it’s simply “a place of wounding where a need wasn’t met.”
  • You have the power to “reparent” yourself through the childhood wounds that limit you as an adult.
  • How connecting back with the little kid in you (your “inner child”) can be the most practical and doable way to chase small joys!
  • Humor is a critical element of enduring hardship and chasing joy in grief. (LOVE THIS)

The bottom line is: the you God individually and purposefully made you to be has likely gotten masked by a lifetime of experiences, traumatic or not. Laura’s passion is to help you dig up and dust off the best (i.e. most free and most joyful!) parts of yourself that life has covered up.

Because don’t you want to re-meet the little you God has always intended adult you to be?
