Stop Living With Emotional Trauma! How To Start Healing
I’m Katie Moran- an author, poet, advocate, creativity coach, and social entrepreneur. I am a sexual assault survivor and have PTSD from the experience. This is the Artistic Spirit Podcast, your place for art, mental health, and spirituality. Arame Ndoye is a podcaster, a life coach trained in Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), an author, holistic healer, and speaker. She has found healing from a history of sexual trauma and now coaches other survivors to their own path of healing. Arame has reminders for anyone who has experienced feelings of worthlessness due to past trauma.
Arame’s reminders for you:
- Know feelings of worthlessness are not true
- Change your own inner dialogue- tell yourself you are worthy
- Intentionally escape negative feelings that are overwhelming
- Boundaries come with practice: have self-compassion
- Know what your boundaries are and then communicate them
- Boundaries come from the place of deciding what’s right for you
- You don’t need anybody’s permission to take your power back
Arame makes it very clear that if you are healing from feeling unworthy from experiencing trauma, that your inner dialogue matters and feelings are worthlessness are not true. You are inherently worthy of healthy experiences and self-protection through boundaries. Arame recommends for anyone feeling emotional pain to ask yourself: “where do I feel this in my body,” to have more compassion with yourself; this practice was life-changing for me. This allows for you to reframe your negative self-talk. You have the power within yourself to reignite feelings of safety, because you are worthy of feeling safe inside your own body.
Arame’s tips for putting yourself out there online:
- Post even with the fear of putting yourself out there
- Change your narrative about putting yourself out there- you will get what you think
- Tell yourself you are excited instead of nervous
- Just start, even if it’s small
- Don’t wait for everything to be perfect
- Make it an intention to post consistently with a frequency that is right for you
