Ep 15: Resilience, Joy, Processing and Witnessing

Cath Counihan

Sep 19, 2022

In this episode Cath encourages listeners to develop resources for themselves to assist them on their own healing journey.

She discusses how tempting it is to try and ‘do healing’ as quickly as possible and how in fact this is not actually possible. Real change takes time and being gentle with ourselves is more effective than beating up on ourselves to try and speed up change.

Cath talks about how we develop resilience using a concept from Somatic Experiencing (developed by Peter Levine) and the powerful role Joy plays in this.

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.
