Episode 17 The Power of Post Traumatic Growth

Season 3 Episode 17

If trauma is the result of your capacity to handle life events, we can all see traumatic scars within ourselves. The triggers, the behaviours to feel and stay safe. Working hard to cover up the painful results. That's not wrong, that's trying to handle storms, big ánd small, in our lives. Trauma can be piled up and stored in a box in the fridge (or even deep freezer) until we are ready to be with it'... 
But our bodies respond. It can lead to dis-ease, illnesses, and mental and emotional disruption with long-lasting impact. 
We can get trapped within ourselves. The stuckness often hurts and frustrates, often, the most.  A Post Traumatic Dis-order.
How about Post-traumatic Growth, PTG?  The possibilities to apply the tools that come from within, not from outer circumstances. How would your life look? 
With today's global violence, destruction and creation of fear, there can be an option that unlocks the strain of trauma and creates a future of growth. 
What if you can open the box of self-absorption that trauma creates, and you can use the tools that shift you: From the repeating trauma story to a radio station that plays what supports your growth? What would you choose to listen to? 

We are all responsible for how we show up in the world, to others, ánd to ourselves. With Phoenix Frequencies, Nienke van Bezooijen shines her light on what we can do to be the best versions of ourselves based on how we show up and what we are willing to learn. It isn't about showing the way with pretended positivity, it is the heart-based vulnerability-sharing options. It takes courage to rise. See what is for you. Or share with others. Perfect doesn't exist; curiosity can be the stepping stone to broaden your perspectives.

Courage to move on from the past,
Trust to be with the present,
Rise to create a new future.
