Why Motivation Doesn't Work

In this episode, I talk about how to love your inner child with self-compassion and what it means to take control of your life after trauma and sexual abuse with psychotherapist and author Beverly Engel. Listen as we dive into understanding the shame and guilt that many trauma and abuse survivors experience on their mental health healing journey and how to use tools like therapy, coaching, self-talk, positive affirmations, and journaling to build yourself.  Learn about respect and compassion for victims of abuse, especially the difficulties they have due to debilitating shame—what are considered to be the most damaging effects of abuse.

In this episode, I talk about Brain-Based Wellness with Elisabeth Kristof. Understanding the Central Nervous System (CNS) is everything in the trauma healing and CPTSD recovery journey because it is the autonomic system that governs our body and our behaviors. Trauma often forces our body and mind to create survival mechanisms to both cope and facilitate trauma experiences in a way that serve us during times of uncertainty, but what happens when those mechanisms no longer work and we find ourselves in a constant state of Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Fawn? We have the ability to “re-wire” our brain and our body to step deeper into our healing journey and move away from the impact of our child abuse and traumatic experiences.  For more information on Elisabeth and Brain-Based Wellness click here: https://brainbased-wellness.com/ Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/think-unbroken-with-michael-unbroken-childhood-trauma-cptsd-and/exclusive-content Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode, I talk about the impact of suicide and my thoughts on the new Anthony Bourdain Documentary “Roadrunner.” I know that suicide is a hard conversation for most of us to have, that’s not lost on me. I also know that someone listening to this right now might be struggling with their mental health after trauma and abuse. There is no easy way to talk about the pain of the past and why often it can be in the way of our healing journey, but talking about suicide matters because it helps us know that we are not alone.    For more information visit https://www.ThinkUnbrokenPodcast.com Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/think-unbroken-with-michael-unbroken-childhood-trauma-cptsd-and/exclusive-content Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
