Trauma affects people in different ways. Just because something is not traumatic for some else, doesn’t mean it won’t be traumatic for you. Talking to us today about acknowledging trauma, and Post Trauma Growth is psychotherapist Joelle Rabow Maletis. Joelle’s focus in this episode is on learning to shift from being a victim to a warrior, by choosing to take ownership of your trauma and honoring the impact a traumatic event has had on you. By asking, “So what?”, Joelle teaches us to give space to the trauma, but to also move forward. We cover the biochemical reactions that underpin the three fear responses, and how to tackle each one. From great tips on how to ground yourself, to advice for fellow therapists on treating skeptical patients, this episode contains a wealth of information for all aspects of your life. Tune in to find out how to turn trauma into growth, without dismissing the trauma!
