Send us a Text Message.

Can a judgment-free, supportive online community truly help women struggling with complex trauma? Join us as we unpack the essential elements needed to create such a space on Facebook. Through sharing my own experiences of forming deep connections and navigating self-critical thoughts, we'll explore self-awareness, boundary-setting, and mindfulness as pillars for managing triggers and cultivating positive energy. We also highlight the importance of compassion over judgment and how knowing when to step back can protect our well-being, while a supportive network helps shoulder the emotional load.
Empathy and compassionate listening emerge as powerful tools in fostering resilience. Witnessing and truly hearing others can usher them forward, even amidst setbacks. This episode underscores the necessity of creating safe, non-judgmental spaces for growth and connection. By offering practical advice on listening more and curbing unsolicited opinions, we emphasize the long-term rewards of perseverance in friendship. Additionally, we explore actionable strategies for integrating supportive practices into daily life, underlining the transformative power of women uplifting each other in new, healthier ways. Got questions or need further guidance? Reach out and enjoy your weekend!

This podcast is not meant to take the place of therapy, to diagnose or treat anyone. I have had therapy as recently as 2021 and found it very helpful. I am not a doctor. My only degree is in computers. I am simply sharing tools I have used to help myself grow to become an emotionally healthy person and sharing stories about my journey. Please seek medical help, as I did, if you are unable to cope with life and all that it brings.
