This week Dr. Lee is joined by Brittany Bowman. Brittany is our Community Experience Manager at the Institute, and she is also an incredible decluttering expert! In this episode, they talk about one of the most normalized traumatic places for humans – organization. They touch on keeping yourself organized and keeping your stuff organized, and the way we interact with the things in our lives.

Brittany’s main goal is to get people to change the way they talk to themselves about the clutter in their lives. She works with clients to break down all the stories around why they continue to hang onto what they hang onto, and purchase what they don’t need.

This week, Dr. Lee is joined by the Institute’s 2 Lead Instructors, Dr. Nicole and Nancy, to talk about the truth about self care for HCPs through a trauma-informed lens.

The idea of self care, especially in the healthcare setting, can make people skeptical. While it’s proposed as a necessity, we are often taught to not take care of ourselves, especially as healthcare professionals.

In this shorter episode, Dr. Lee talks about the idea of choosing your pain. 

At a recent 5-day empowerment event hosted by the Institute, she went into the neurobiology of how our nervous systems work and what they are designed to do (primarily avoid pain and seek out pleasure). Because the avoidance of pain is prioritized in most cases, it influences our habitual behavior. This can make change a challenge.

She talks through making choices consciously, in a trauma-informed way, and actually finding a way to make the changes in our lives and our relationships that we truly desire to make.

In this week’s episode, Dr. Lee is joined by two members of the ITPS team: Dr. Nicole Garritano (a core instructor at the Institute) and Dr. Lindsey Luther (the Institute’s programming consultant).

With all three being nurse practitioners, Dr. Lee and her guests bring unique perspectives and stories about their time in clinical practice, and how they’ve ended up where they are today.

The conversation examines, from a trauma-informed perspective, why healthcare professionals are leaving clinical practice, the role leadership may play in some of those decisions, and what can possibly be done to change what’s happening.

This week, Dr. Lee talks about one of her favorite topics -- Self-Sabotage. 

The way many of us currently use the term "self-sabotage" feels rooted in shame. When we hold ourselves back, or "mess up", or "stay stuck" and call it self-sabotage, we make it OUR fault.

So when we don't do things to help ourselves be successful, or find ourselves in the same situations or behaviours over and over we feel shame around it and say we're sabotaging ourselves.

But what if we're not? What if we're actually protecting ourselves? Tune in to this week's episode to learn more and shift your perspective in a mind-blowing way.

Welcome to the first episode of season 3!

We're kicking this season off with a little bit of the story of how Dr. Lee got to this point in her journey. She talks about how she left her job as a doctorally prepared nurse practitioner to become a coach for entrepreneurs, and how that evolved into becoming the Founder and CEO of an institute: The Institute for Trauma and Psychological Safety. 

But what everyone really wants to know is how, in the journey of healing her own trauma and now sharing those truths with her audience, she was also able to build an incredible successful business.

Tune in and find out how becoming more trauma-informed helped Dr. Lee get to her first half million...and how she's on track to hit the million mark very soon.

In this episode, Dr. Lee shares one of the most eye-opening, helpful things she learned on her trauma-informed journey: learning how to set boundaries.

It's something that really should be taught much earlier in life because of the impact boundaries have on every aspect of our lives.

Tune in as she talks about what boundaries are, how to set healthy boundaries, how to address boundary issues with loved ones, and the role the nervous system plays in our ability to honour our boundaries.
