Timestamps of big takeaways

[00:14] I open by discussing a podcast I was listening to about a World War 2 veteran who found a correlation between PTSD and childhood trauma

[01:20] This got me thinking about the United States exit from Afghanistan and the fallout from it

[02:14] In listening to the PTSD episode and the correlation to childhood trauma, it got me thinking about how I would coach someone through feelings of hopelessness or anger

[03:32] Do you feel frustrated about what is happening around you? Perhaps you need healing from past issues to look at the present objectively.

[04:26] I share about how I’m speaking to my younger self to heal past trauma and better equip myself to handle what is going on today in my world around me

[07:26] What past traumas do you need to heal to feel more secure in your own thoughts and feelings? What do you need to say to yourself?

[08:16] You can’t control what is happening around you, but you can control how you react to it, and it may need to start with healing yourself first

[08:53] I give you permission to get off social media and turn off the news. Do something else!
