PTSD symptoms don't always show up right after a traumatic experience. Sometimes the symptoms arrive years later when you least expect.
For our special guest, Madeline Popelka - who is the Founder of one of the largest healing communities on Instagram and Author of the recently published book, You're Going To Be Okay - she didn't experience her PTSD symptoms that stemmed from childhood and generational trauma until her late twenties.
In this conversation, Madeline and I talk about the healing journey and what that has looked (and felt) like for her. We expand on one of her most important lessons she learned on her journey - to hold onto the goodness and allow yourself to experience good feeling feelings, such as joy.
We acknowledge the truth that even positive change can feel triggering for those healing from trauma and other truths as well. This is an honest and encouraging conversation between two women who have experienced trauma and have actively chosen (and continue to choose) to heal.
Other topics we touch on include:
- Asking for help and support
- "Small" trauma
- The myth that PTSD is a choice
- Trauma anniversaries
- Creating safe space for trauma survivors
- Becoming a truer version of you
