Lyn is joined by complex trauma coach, Candace Alley, to talk from an expert's point of view about complex trauma and how we can heal ourselves after the devastation, so we can have healthy relationships and lead a successful life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There are three types of trauma - acute, chronic and complex. Complex trauma is the result of an extended period of trauma, or multiple traumatic events.
- Healing after complex trauma can take some time, there is no overnight quick fix. It requires dedication and patience, but it can certainly be achieved.
- Each trauma sufferer is unique and can only be helped through a bespoke, personalised form of healing. Communication is key.
- Affirmations are a helpful way of building hope in a person.
- Regularly instil positivity into your day and talk to yourself as though you're talking to your best friend who you want to give your best empowering advice.
