In a raw and inspiring conversation, Linda Feig reveals the transformative power of therapy, vulnerability, and personal resilience.
Her memoir "Breathing Therapy" isn't just a book, it's a roadmap for survivors seeking healing and hope.
Linda's story begins with profound trauma, a sexual assault that she buried for decades. But her journey wasn't about remaining silent; it was about finding her voice.
Triggered during graduate school, Linda confronted her long-suppressed pain through therapy, uncovering layers of self-judgment and fear.
"I was beating myself up," Linda shared, describing the internal dialogue that haunted her. Her therapist helped her understand that she was just a young woman who had experienced something traumatic, not someone to blame.
The turning point came when Linda embraced Brené Brown's powerful mantra: "Choose courage over comfort." This became her lifeline, pushing her to write her deeply personal memoir and share her most vulnerable moments.
Her healing wasn't linear. It involved confronting painful memories, understanding her trauma responses, and learning to speak her truth. Linda discovered that healing isn't about erasing the past, but transforming its power over you.
"I wouldn't wish sexual assault on anyone," Linda explained, "but the huge growth in my life came from that experience."
Her story resonates with a universal truth: trauma doesn't define you, your response to it does. By seeking therapy, journaling, and ultimately writing her book, Linda reclaimed her narrative.
Highlighted critical insights about trauma, therapy, and personal growth: Therapy is a courageous act of self-love, Negative self-talk can be transformed, Gratitude can emerge from even the most painful experiences and Healing is possible with persistence and support.
Linda's journey demonstrates that vulnerability isn't weakness, it's strength. By sharing her story, she offers hope to countless survivors who might feel alone.
Her message is clear: You can survive. You can heal. You can thrive.
