In this episode, hosts Amy Redbird and Theresa Benson dive into the The Irreverent Trust Guide by Elizabeth Kupferman, known for her insightful and humorous Instagram account @advancedbitches. They explore the "fawn trauma response" from Pete Walker's Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving, detailing how extreme people-pleasing serves as a survival mechanism.
Through personal anecdotes, Amy and Theresa discuss vulnerability, codependency, and the journey to healing past trauma. They emphasize the importance of sharing vulnerabilities with trustworthy individuals, drawing on Brené Brown's work on courage. The conversation also touches on validation addiction, societal standards of beauty and intelligence, and the crucial role of compassionate witnesses in recovery. This episode offers practical advice and encouragement for anyone on a path to self-improvement and healing from trauma.
