One of the things I try to explain to my clients and people all the time- really, anybody who will listen is, I believe, this truly the key to life is to do what you want to do and not do what you don't want to do, because that to me is like the crux of not only ownership but of self.
How do you rebuild a life shattered by childhood trauma? In this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, host Duane Osterlind sits down with Michael Anthony, the author of 'Think Unbroken: Understanding and Overcoming Childhood Trauma'. Michael's story is one of extreme hardship and ultimate transformation. From a young age, he faced unimaginable challenges—his mother, battling addiction, severed his finger when he was just four years old.
He grew up in a turbulent environment marked by abuse, homelessness, and poverty, living with over 30 different families by the time he was twelve. Yet, despite these adversities, Michael found a way to turn his life around. During their conversation, Michael shares how he navigated his way out of the darkness through therapy and crucial mindset shifts. He underscores the importance of self-awareness and taking ownership of one's experiences as key steps in the healing process.
Practical tips like journaling, meditation, and mindfulness practices are discussed as tools for cultivating self-awareness and breaking the cycle of trauma. Michael's journey is a testament to the power of resilience and self-compassion. He emphasizes that healing is a lifelong journey that requires constant effort and a willingness to grow. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with the scars of childhood trauma, offering actionable advice and a roadmap for personal growth.
