Ep 117: Healing Trauma: How Life’s Challenges Help Us Reconnect to Ourselves

Send us a text

Welcome to another inspiring episode of Flip Your Mindset with Stacey Uhrig! In this conversation, Stacey sits down with psychotherapist Sherry D'Elia to explore how our life stories, including trauma and painful experiences, shape who we are and provide opportunities for healing and growth. Sherry's journey from childhood adversity to becoming a therapist is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of self-reconnection.

Sherry shares a deeply personal story that began when her father left the family, a pivotal moment that planted the seeds of her desire to help others heal. But her path wasn’t straightforward—she faced financial struggles, career pivots, and unexpected triggers that forced her to confront unresolved trauma from her past. Despite the challenges, Sherry learned to see every difficult experience as an opportunity to reclaim a lost part of herself.

Stacey and Sherry dive deep into the topic of trauma, breaking down myths and misconceptions. They emphasize that trauma isn’t just about the event itself—it’s about how our mind, body, and psyche interpret the event. They discuss how unprocessed emotions can manifest as physical symptoms, such as autoimmune disorders or chronic illnesses, and how reconnecting with those emotions can lead to profound healing.
