TPJ 84: Processing Events To Avoid Trauma

Hi, Fam! - A podcast by Avital Schreiber Levy

Have you (or your child) experienced rough times? Are you having a hard time dealing with them? If so, this episode is for you.  [01:29] Has 2020 been a rough year for you? Are you longing for some change (in the right direction)? Join me in my free challenge, Finish Strong! [05:58] Mindset is so important when it comes to challenges we’ve faced. [07:18] Integrate any trauma we have experienced. [09:31] When someone has made sense of their narrative, they go a long way toward healing. [10:27] How can we use this today?  [12:08] Here's an example: When a child falls down [14:14] Talk through what happened. [14:51] But wait...do we really want to relive trauma?  [17:01] Eventually it becomes boring (or at least loses it's edge). [17:41] Example from my life: Childbirth trauma [19:55] Start working through the story of this past year. It’s time to put in some work! Start working through your story, talking about what happened, and begin to integrate it into your narrative. It’ll begin the healing process and you’ll find it’ll start to lose it’s sting. If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, I’d love to hear about your biggest takeaway.
