In this episode, we’re going to talk about trauma. I have with me former psychotherapist and current executive coach Mike Hynes. Mike is the author of “The Myth-Guided Mind: Unleash Your God-Given Genius at Work and at Home,” and he’s going to share about his personal struggle with PTSD, the start and stop nature of healing from trauma, the importance of persistence when building mental resiliency, and what it truly takes to get your head right and live a meaningful life. Check out the link to buy his book below. (I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase).

Whether or not you’ve experienced trauma yourself, I highly recommend you listen to this episode. Mike has a great story, and we cover a lot of other general topics that relate to any mental health struggle.

This episode will cover:

  • Mike’s amazing story.
  • The struggle of dealing with PTSD. 
  • The start and stop nature of the healing process.
  • Why anger is such a common response to trauma.
  • The ways in which people process trauma differently.
  • The importance of confronting and grieving your trauma.
  • When to get help.
  • Why you shouldn’t compare your trauma to someone else’s. 
  • Surprising benefits to overcoming trauma.
