It takes one person to change someone's life. Just one person to say, 'hello, how are you?'
Ever felt like life is spinning out of control? This episode of The Trauma Recovery School might just have the answers you're looking for. Bonita Ackerman du Preez, the award-winning master trauma recovery therapist, dives into the story of Sarah, a woman who grew up in a chaotic environment. With an absent father and an overwhelmed mother, Sarah's life was anything but stable.
As she grew older, Sarah realised she needed to take charge of her own destiny to avoid repeating her mother's mistakes. But how did she do it? With the help of a supportive teacher, Sarah learned to focus on what she could control, like her schoolwork, and began to view her home life as something external that she couldn't change.
This shift in perspective was crucial in helping her break free from the anxiety and stress that had plagued her for years. Bonita explains the concept of 'Locus of Control' - the idea that people with an internal locus believe their actions shape their outcomes, while those with an external locus feel life just happens to them. She highlights how unresolved trauma can trap people in a mindset where they feel powerless and unable to change their circumstances.
If you've ever felt like life's challenges are too much to handle, this episode offers practical advice on how to regain control and build a more resilient mindset. Don't miss out on Bonita's expert tips and real-life examples that could help you or someone you know. Ready to take the reins and find your control? Give this episode a listen and start your journey towards a more empowered life.
