Show Notes
Welcome to Deconstructing Gaslighting the podcast, I’m your host, Sarah Morales, and today’s episode it going to be a bit different.
On Tuesday of last week, I put the final touches on my next speaking opportunity at a summit. The theme of the summit is post-traumatic growth, and my title, "I no longer fear the storm". Irony can be a bitch, because on Wednesday – the very next day – a bomb my ex built probably 15 years ago blew up.
So today I wanted to talk a bit about what it’s been like for me the past few days, and the observations I have about how allllll the work that I’ve been doing for the past 13 years is serving me – big time! Side note, if you're interested, my talk with be at the Daring Ventures Summit.
Top Take-Aways:
- Reminder/experience solidarity - that you are NOT alone
- Feel inspiration or hope
- What can we learn from Sarah's post-traumatic growth?
- SUPPORT TEAM is CRUCIAL
- SELF-CARE is a must
- HEALTHY DISTRACTION, spending time in your ZONE OF COMPETENCE/GENIUS
- Give yourself PERMISSION TO FUNCTION AT LOWER LEVELS
- BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF
- Try giving GOOD, CLEAR COMMUNICATION - especially around things you have AWARENESS OF around your TRAUMA SYMPTOMS
- Find/gather INFORMATION THAT LEADS TO EMPOWERMENT
