Episode 8: You don't have to set yourself on fire to keep others warm

Today we meet with Karina, Dee, and Pamela, survivors and military mental health advocates, to discuss an incredibly important topic about mental health and healing. Each of us are survivors of trauma, but it doesn't define us. This is a raw and authentic discussion about military life, trauma, and learning to set healthy boundaries while we both heal and advocate for others.

Some important key topics from today:

Setting healthy boundaries

dealing with triggers

navigating cultural barriers

healing through re-trauma

knowing your limitations

maladaptive coping

how to navigate the advocacy space in a healthy way

personal accountability and self reflection

dealing with negative people when you come out with your story publicly

having self compassion as a survivor

asking yourself why and how to not self blame
