Ep 13: Part 1: Post Traumatic Growth, Decisions and Careers

Cath Counihan

Sep 05, 2022

In this episode Cath talks about a simple assessment framework we can use when making decisions (about careers) and everything else in life.

Cath talks about coming into a sense of our own power and agency and why that can sometimes be so hard and how it links to our childhood. She explains the concept of post traumatic growth and why it is so important as we move forward with our lives. She provides encouragement around stepping into your light.

Cath shares about her own career path, her failures, her career changes and what motivated her decision making process, and how and why this has changed over time.

This raw and real episode is filled with hope and will give you a spring in your step as you contemplate your own beautiful future.

The book Cath refers to in the podcast is called "Return to Love", by Marianne Williamson.

Discussion about this podcast

Grow Yourself Up

Grow Yourself Up is a podcast to support all of us in our adult lives.

Many of us did not get our needs adequately met in childhood. The devastating legacy of trauma, wounding and traumatic stress lives on in our brains, our bodies, our nervous systems and our behaviour/reactions. Which in turn impacts the way we turn up to our lives in many ways.

We are going to unpack all of this on Grow Yourself Up. This podcast will be a companion as you travel on your own road of healing and recovery. You will learn you are not alone.

Someone has been where you are.

There is hope.

We will break down shame together and learn to cultivate self compassion.

There is always the possibility for change.

And regardless of what has happened in our past, as adults we have to take responsibility for our own lives. We have to tend to our pain, our sadness and our dysfunction so that we can live a life we love and shift toxic patterns for our children.
