    Podcast #21 – Learning to tolerate positive emotions
    Jul 31 2024
    We're often used to the idea that it's hard to tolerate distressing emotions. But for many of us as trauma survivors, we can be easily triggered by positive emotions too. Good feelings can be strange, novel and frightening. When we've experienced grooming, they can appear to be the prelude to abuse. And they can feel just plain wrong! In this podcast I look at why we can find positive emotions so difficult, and what we can do about it.

    Podcast #20 – How therapy transformed me
    Apr 17 2024
    Therapy can be, and often is, transformational. But why? I benefitted greatly from the empathy and attunement offered by my therapist, but over time I also had to adjust my expectations about how change would occur in me. I had to learn to consider what's really going on when we feel misattuned-to as well. I needed validation and acceptance, but I also needed to be challenged. Here's the story of how that played out in one particular therapy session, and the question that at first offended, and then transformed me.

    Podcast #19 – How do we learn to trust people after trauma?
    Mar 20 2024
    Trust is so key for smooth human relationships, but it's also invariably damaged after we have suffered trauma, especially abuse. So how do we learn to build it again? In this episode I talk about how there aren't 'three top tips', but how it's a meticulous process of firstly learning to trust ourselves, to tune into our internal radar, and then to bring our front brain online to assess the data we're presented with – especially when we say 'no' to people.

a powerful, compassionate voice

Carolyn Spring is one of my favorite voices on trauma and recovery. I've read all her books and am excited to find her doing a podcast available on audible! It seems she hasn't really been "discovered" by her audience yet, but she deserves to be, and will be if she keeps at it. Thank you for all you do, Carolyn!
