Agape Garcia: From Trauma to Triumph and Self-Discovery
I think the post-traumatic growth, ptg, that is really where so many of us can become better human beings, and for that I'm proud of.
What if you could turn unimaginable trauma into a source of strength and inspiration? That's exactly what Agape Garcia has done. In this compelling episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff chats with Agape, a survivor of a double attempted homicide while eight months pregnant. Her story is not just about survival; it's about transformation and empowerment. Agape founded Be Your Incredible Self (BYIS) as a way to help others navigate through their own traumas and emerge stronger.
She shares how extreme independence can be a trauma response and offers practical advice on how to overcome it through self-awareness and intentional control. With a focus on activating the parasympathetic nervous system and embracing post-traumatic growth, Agape provides invaluable insights into coping mechanisms for dealing with trauma. She also emphasizes the importance of identifying and greeting the messengers of one's trauma, finding one's love language, and the journey to self-love.
Through her powerful narrative, Agape reminds us that even in the darkest times, we have the power to rise, heal, and thrive. Tune in to hear her incredible journey and gain inspiration for your own path to recovery.
