The Process of Healing: Understanding Trauma

The Process of Healing

What if the mind under chronic stress is like a city struck by recurring meteors? Join us as we explore this compelling metaphor on this episode of "The Process." We share personal stories and insights to highlight the profound impact of trauma on our brain and body. Susie dives into the essential concepts of big T and little T trauma, explaining how these events affect our amygdala and hippocampus, and why taking breaks and seeking support is crucial for healing.
We challenge the stigma surrounding mental health by emphasizing its critical importance. Mental health issues often go overlooked, unlike physical ailments. Through vivid analogies and personal reflections, we underscore the urgent need to address trauma with the same urgency as physical injuries. We discuss the journey of healing, contemplating whether significant traumas can diminish over time and how support and self-care play vital roles in this process.
Throughout the episode, we delve into various facets of trauma, offering practical tips and affirmations for daily motivation. From identifying trauma signs and indicators to exploring therapeutic techniques like EMDR therapy, we provide valuable insights into managing and processing trauma. Our discussion highlights the subjective nature of trauma, reminding listeners that everyone's healing journey is unique. Tune in as we share a listener's heartfelt email and reflect on the shared human experience, emphasizing the importance of empathy, support, and understanding in the path to healing.
