Trauma is not a therapist, not a doctor, not somebody outside of us, but us going
What if trauma could be both a burden and a blessing? In this eye-opening episode of 'Let The Journey Begin', hosts Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler sit down with Dr. Sharon Burnett, a teacher, mentor, and psychotherapist, to unravel the complex layers of trauma and its impact on our lives. Dr. Burnett shares her deeply personal story of losing her young brother to a drunk driver and, a few years later, her mother.
These heartbreaking events led her to understand how people often turn to substances to escape their pain, only to find that true recovery is impossible until the trauma is confronted head-on. Dr. Burnett dives into the idea that 'trauma is the gift that keeps on giving', explaining how it can shape us in both positive and negative ways.
She discusses how her own journey through trauma has made her a better therapist and how practicing what she preaches has been crucial in her own healing process. Her belief that every person she works with is a gift shines through as she shares stories from her practice, offering a blend of professional insight and personal experience.
This episode isn't just for those who've experienced trauma; it's for anyone looking to understand the profound ways trauma can affect mental health and substance use. Dr. Burnett's compassionate approach provides hope and practical advice for anyone on the path to recovery. Tune in to hear a conversation that's as enlightening as it is heartwarming, and take the first step towards understanding and healing from trauma.
