Listen Later

In today's episode of the Get Psyched Podcast, we’re taking a deep dive into What My Bones Know by Stephanie Foo, a powerful memoir about living with complex PTSD. As therapists, Amy and Linds share their take on the book and unpack some of the key themes we see in trauma recovery. We’ll chat about things like Pain vs. Suffering, why trauma isn’t something that “happens for you,” and how being present in the moment can help you heal. Plus, we’ll talk about the importance of building strong therapeutic rapport and how trust in the healing process can make all the difference.

Today, the girls explore:

🎙️ What is Complex PTSD? Understanding the unique aspects of C-PTSD and why it’s different from PTSD.

🎙️ Pain vs. Suffering: Let’s talk about how pain is a part of life, but suffering is something we can manage.

🎙️ Trauma Doesn’t Happen “For” You: Why it's important to challenge the idea that trauma is a “lesson” or something that has a higher purpose.

🎙️ Presence is the Opposite of Trauma: How simply being present and grounded in the moment can be a game-changer when it comes to trauma healing.

🎙️ The Power of Therapeutic Rapport: Why the relationship between you and your therapist can be a huge factor in your recovery.

Whether you're someone who’s been directly impacted by trauma or just interested in understanding the healing process better, this episode offers insights that can support you on your journey. Remember, healing takes time, and you don’t have to do it alone.
