    The Anxiety of Money. This is Trauma, Money and Resolution with Jane Evans

    Jane Evans joins me to discuss one of my favourite topics - Trauma & Money.  When it comes to answering some version of the question, "How much" or when we have to put a price on our value, or generate and maintain cashflow, the situation tends to be more white knuckles, than signed on the dotted line. Why? More importantly, What can we do about it?  Jane brings a level of skill, mastery and experience in this exactly subject as we explore what is going on, what we can do about it and what change looks like.  You will find Jane on LinkedIn over here > http://linkedin.com/in/janeevanswellness - Her website is www.thejaneevans.com  _______________________________________________ The Trauma Informed Growth Podcast explores Complex Trauma, C-PTSD and Post-Traumatic Growth through a business lens.  You can get a free PDF copy of Shannon's latest book "C-PTSD at Work: Highly Functioning, Secretly in Despair" on shannoneastman.com/cptsd-at-work, or buy the paperback on Amazon Worldwide for $9.99 US.  If you'd like to be a guest on the show, or share your c-PTSD story - have a look at the ABOUT section of my podcast website for details, and when you're ready, email shannon at shannoneastman dot com so we can set up an initial Meet & Greet.  Find out More about Me:  shannoneastman.com Follow Me On: Medium @ShannonEastman-CPTSDatWork Twitter @ShannonEastman LinkedIn.com/ShannonEastman Facebook.com/shannon.e.eastman  #Entrepreneurs, #Founders, #Employed, #Self Employed, #High Achievers, #Chronic Stress, #C-PTSD, #Highly Functioning  #Recovery, #CPTSD, #Mental Health, #Co-Regulation, #Complex Trauma, #Emotional Dysregulation, #Self Regulation, #C-PTSD, #CPTSD At Work  #Addiction, #CPTSD, #Mental Health, #Body Work, #CPTSD At Work, #BrainBodyMindSoul  #Cptsd, #Mental Health, #Polyvagal Theory, #Nervous System, #Complex Trauma, #C-Ptsd

    The Underbelly of Sex Addiction. This Is Recovery With Rob Watt and Dr. Kirsty Loudon

    This is my first episode inspired by a few listeners who have been in touch with me to share how sex addiction has disrupted, or is disrupting their lives.  I went looking for answers only to find two world-class experts in the area of Sex Addiction: Dr. Kirsty Loudon and Rob Watt.  Dr. Kirsty, Rob and myself have connected a few times over a couple of months to organise the content for this episode. We have distilled the information into two key questions: "How do I know I have a Sex Addiction vs. A Healthy Sex Life?" and "What is in the underbelly of Sex Addiction?" - So we cover things like: what is going on?,  (which includes discussion of early attachment and sexual development), what would be helpful to understand about the nature of this?, and how can we help ourselves navigate our way back into healthy states?  Special thanks to Dr. Kirsty and Rob for the effort that went into this interview, and to Lucy, at Innisfree Therapy and her colleagues, who have made enormous contributions to the direction and structure of this episode.  About Innisfree Therapy:  Visit www.Innisfreetherapy.co.uk  Call in confidence +44 207 935 5333 You will find Innisfree Therapy on:  LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/innisfree-therapy-ltd/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/innisfreetherapy Instagram https://www.instagram.com/innisfreetherapy/  To learn more about Dr. Kirsty Loudon or Rob Watt, visit the About Page on Innisfree Therapy over here: https://www.innisfreetherapy.co.uk/about/meet-the-team/  ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Trauma Informed Growth Podcast explores Complex Trauma, C-PTSD and Post-Traumatic Growth through a business lens.  You can get a free PDF copy of Shannon's latest book "C-PTSD at Work: Highly Functioning, Secretly in Despair" on shannoneastman.com/cptsd-at-work, or buy the paperback on Amazon Worldwide for $9.99 US.  If you'd like to be a guest on the show, or share your c-PTSD story - have a look at the ABOUT section of my podcast website for details, and when you're ready, email shannon at shannoneastman dot com so we can set up an initial Meet & Greet.    Visit My Blog shannoneastman.com/blog Browse My Published Work shannoneastman.com/books Follow Me On: Medium @ShannonEastman-CPTSDatWork Twitter @ShannonEastman LinkedIn.com/ShannonEastman Facebook.com/shannon.e.eastman  #Entrepreneurs, #Founders, #Employed, #Self Employed, #High Achievers, #Chronic Stress, #C-PTSD, #Highly Functioning  #Recovery, #CPTSD, #Mental Health, #Co-Regulation, #Complex Trauma, #Emotional Dysregulation, #Self Regulation, #C-PTSD, #CPTSD At Work  #Addiction, #CPTSD, #Mental Health, #Body Work, #CPTSD At Work, #BrainBodyMindSoul  #Cptsd, #Mental Health, #Polyvagal Theory, #Nervous System, #Complex Trauma, #C-Ptsd

    S2: E22 - I Think I Have C-PTSD, Now What? This Is Recovery With Roseanne Reilly

    Her name is Roseanne Reilly, an Irish woman in NYC, who is a masterful facilitator of individuals with C-PTSD. Her career path moved her through being a nurse, a health & safety educator and trainer, an advanced practitioner of Craniosacral Therapy, and today, a Trauma Informed Practitioner with dozens of qualifications and certifications to her name after more than 10 years study in the areas of stress and its affects on the brain-body. Roseanne herself has risen from the provebial ashes that allows her to show up in a way that facilitates the Highly Successful, Secretly in Despair folk who are exhausted! In this episode, Roseanne shares a distinction between healthy stress, chronic stress, trauma stress, extended trauma stress and why the brain-body is the first stop on the way out of all of this. We examine  the 0-5 yrs old time frame answering the how and why those first 5 years significantly influence who we become as adults. Roseanne shares how the Nervous System is functioning under duress, and what steps we can take now to support our brain-body to recover. I ask Roseanne to get us to the starting line - "We have C-PTSD, now what?" And... where is the starting line, what does it look like, what do we do there and how long before we get to move on? Roseanne shares valuable information on how you can do this on your own, and a few reasons as to why you can't before I ask Roseanne to tell me more about her 6-week R.I.S.E. program supported by 1-to-1 sessions with her, before we give her the floor for some final thoughts.  I learned so much in this episode. I am excited to be able to share this one with you.  R.I.S.E. with Roseanne - Program Information - Click Here for PDF >  handsoftimehealing.com  rfbreilly@gmail.com ________________________________________________________ The Trauma Informed Growth Podcast explores Complex Trauma, C-PTSD and Post-Traumatic Growth through a business lens.  You can get a free PDF copy of Shannon's latest book "C-PTSD at Work: Highly Functioning, Secretly in Despair" on shannoneastman.com/cptsd-at-work, or buy the paperback on Amazon Worldwide for $9.99 US.  If you'd like to be a guest on the show, or share your c-PTSD story - have a look at the ABOUT section of my podcast website for details, and when you're ready, email shannon at shannoneastman dot com so we can set up an initial Meet & Greet.    Visit My Blog shannoneastman.com/blog Browse My Published Work shannoneastman.com/books Follow Me On: Medium @ShannonEastman-CPTSDatWork Twitter @ShannonEastman LinkedIn.com/ShannonEastman Facebook.com/shannon.e.eastman  #Entrepreneurs, #Founders, #Employed, #Self Employed, #High Achievers, #Chronic Stress, #C-PTSD, #Highly Functioning  #Recovery, #CPTSD, #Mental Health, #Co-Regulation, #Complex Trauma, #Emotional Dysregulation, #Self Regulation, #C-PTSD, #CPTSD At Work  #Addiction, #CPTSD, #Mental Health, #Body Work, #CPTSD At Work, #BrainBodyMindSoul

    The Ugly Sides To Recovery And The Daily Practice That Brings In the Beauty

    This episode is a more candid look at the uglier sides of recovery as I reflect on the last 10 days or so where I have been all sorts of dysregulated, and then irritated that I am still 'falling down', and the honest look I had to take at what I am 'really' doing about my recovery.  As it goes, what I am doing pales in comparison to what I let myself BELIEVE I am doing. I share what I am doing now, in case it should inspire your own version.  I also talk briefly about the 3 distinctions I have been pondering about the role of the body, in tandem with the 8 stages to C-PTSD recovery (a work in progress, for sure) and some cool tools I am using as part of those insights.  Consider this simply another episode for us both, to continue the learning.  The links from this episode:  Free Access to an Illustrated view to C-PTSD Recovery - This is a 5 Page Illustrated PDF of the 500 Ft. view down to the 50 Ft. view to C-PTSD Recovery that I mention in this episode.

    Unpacking: 1. Being In Your Body and 2. Engaging Body Work, To Expedite Healing

    I share the clarity I have gained, some distinctions I've made, and some suggestions on how and where to start. Starting is what matters most here. This is the episode where I unpack two areas that matter a lot when it comes to: healing, recovery and shifting out of the chaos of emotional overwhelm, emotional numbing, and emotional exhaustion, and into a space that feels really good to be in, even when stressful spaces, places and faces pop up. That means understanding; the body's role in your healing, how the body can expedite recovery, how the body will drive us to React or Respond during times of stress, and appreciating the distinction between supporting your body, being in your body and working with body (E.g. Body Work). Some of the key terms I use in this episode include: #NervousSystem, #SelfRegulation, #MindBodyCommunication, #ImplicitMemory, #Unconscious, #RepressedEmotion, #EmotionRecovery, #EmotionRelease, #Reparenting, #Reframing. I also introduce an imaginary visual aid (a spectrum) to explain Body Work for 3 distinct activities (recover, release, reparent) that I have found helpful in order to better understand this specific area. Those 3 areas plotted along my imaginary spectrum include: Ancient Practices, Clinical Practices, Modern Practices. You are invited to simply enter the spot on the spectrum that feels most interesting for you because there is no one-way-to-do-this. ________________________________________________________ The Trauma Informed Growth Podcast explores Complex Trauma, C-PTSD and Post-Traumatic Growth through a business lens.  You can get a free PDF copy of Shannon's latest book "C-PTSD at Work: Highly Functioning, Secretly in Despair" on shannoneastman.com/cptsd-at-work, or buy the paperback on Amazon Worldwide for $9.99 US.  If you'd like to be a guest on the show, or share your c-PTSD story - have a look at the ABOUT section of my podcast website for details, and when you're read, email shannon at shannoneastman dot com so we can set up an initial Meet & Greet.    Visit My Blog shannoneastman.com/blog Browse My Published Work shannoneastman.com/books Follow Me On: Medium @ShannonEastman-CPTSDatWork Twitter @ShannonEastman LinkedIn.com/ShannonEastman Facebook.com/shannon.e.eastman  #Entrepreneurs, #Founders, #Employed, #Self Employed, #High Achievers, #Chronic Stress, #C-PTSD, #Highly Functioning  #Recovery, #CPTSD, #Mental Health, #Co-Regulation, #Complex Trauma, #Emotional Dysregulation, #Self Regulation, #C-PTSD, #CPTSD At Work  #Addiction, #CPTSD, #Mental Health, #Body Work, #CPTSD At Work, #BrainBodyMindSoul
