Mental Health and Processing Trauma (feat. Elske van der Scheer)

Listen Later

This week I invited Elske, a board-certified therapist in the Netherlands, to talk about mental health and trauma processing. It's hard to live on this earth as a human and not experience trauma. As Elske reminds us, trauma is our bodies response to help us survive a difficult moment. But it's not just possible to find mental health support and process your previous trauma, it's also possible to thrive afterward.


Tune in as Elske and I discuss:

  • finding mental health support
  • using positive psychology to find post-traumatic growth and success
  • our risk-aversion versus opportunity-seeking instincts
  • how to utilize positive psychology without stepping over the line into toxic positivity
  • using your strengths in your career


    • Your One Thing this Week

    What is ONE of your personal strengths? What’s one way you can lean into that strength more in your work?
