Ep 18: The Most Important Ingredient in Post Traumatic Growth

Cath Counihan

Oct 10, 2022

In this episode Cath reflects on how, when we are on a healing journey, the most important thing in the present moment is to develop a warm, supportive, loving relationship with all the different parts of ourselves. How do we actually do this though? What helps with this?

Cath speaks to how we progress with this in the episode and shares details of how self-compassion is useful in her life and in parenting in general. With a hilarious story towards the end, she draws from the work of Kristin Neff and the book she refers to is (Self Compassion) by Kristin Neff.

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.
