Ever wondered how trauma can split your identity into different parts? In this episode of Adult Child, Andrea sits down with Jesse, a fellow member of The Shitshow community, to unravel the complexities of trauma responses and dissociation. Jesse, who's on his way to becoming a trauma coach, shares his deep understanding of 'parts work' and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. He breaks down how trauma fragments our identity into parts like wounded inner children, protectors, and managers.
These parts help us survive but can lead to long-term psychological challenges if left unaddressed. Jesse's personal journey is both harrowing and enlightening. He talks about hitting rock bottom multiple times, dealing with suicidal thoughts, and the intense emotional pain that stemmed from his dysfunctional upbringing. Through years of therapy, mindfulness, and sheer determination, Jesse has started to piece together his fragmented self.
His story is a testament to the power of understanding and integrating these parts to heal and move forward. Andrea and Jesse's conversation isn't just heavy; it's also sprinkled with light-hearted moments and genuine camaraderie. They dive into the nitty-gritty of trauma work, offering valuable insights and practical advice for anyone struggling with similar issues. If you're dealing with complex trauma or know someone who is, this episode offers a raw, real look at the journey towards healing.
Why should you listen? Because understanding your fragmented self can be the first step towards healing. Jesse's story might just be the inspiration you need to start your own journey towards wholeness.
