After a prolonged absence since December 2024, I'm returning to the podcast following the devastating fires in Los Angeles County that destroyed my home and neighborhood in early January 2025. I share how I've used the Five Building Blocks of Recovery to navigate through one of the most difficult periods of my life and how you can use the building blocks to take care of your mental health in the midst of/after a crisis or trauma.
In this episode I cover:
• Creating structure and normalcy in the midst/after a crisis
• Leaning on support from community
• Maintaining connections with friends and support systems
• Trusting that things will eventually work out
• Using self-care practices daily
• Implementing coping strategies for extremely high stress
If you've been impacted by a crisis or trauma, know it's not your fault and there is hope that you will be okay with time. Please seek help if needed – you don't have to face this alone.
