Trigger Warning: Suicide
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Today we are delving into a universal and yet deeply personal subject – trauma. There is no guest for this one because sadly I am an expert in this field. I wanted to share with you my treasured and trusted listeners my experience – for the first time on record – of what it is like to witness, life through and begin to recover from life altering Trauma.
This episode revolves around the suicide of my Dad. It may be triggering for some, and I urge you to consider your current emotional and mental wellness before listening. I can assure you however that, that I approach this with nothing, but compassion, love and support and my aim is to gently explain how I was thrown into being a C-PTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress) Survivor.
Your traumas, whatever the situation, causes and effects are equally as valid, impactful, and raw as my own, there is no competition or value judgement about who suffers more here. So, if you want to just open the door to trauma recovery a tiny, manageable bit – this is the episode for you.
And thank you for giving me a safe space to share my initially emotionally cataclysmic journey with you.
I’m so glad you are here – thank you for choosing to be with me today.
With Love and Empowerment
