I'm a recovering perfectionist too, because I was always trying to live up to other people's expectations of me without really being like. I can be in my skin Today and I love who I am Today, and that journey to self-love was by far the most gratifying for me and in turn, I've learned to partner with my children and and their relationship with themselves.
What does it take to break free from the chains of generational trauma and poverty? In this episode of Positive Recovery MD, Dr. Jason Powers sits down with Tanya Kraege, a seasoned Crisis Worker and Drug Poisoning Prevention Team Manager, to tackle this pressing question. Tanya's journey is nothing short of remarkable.
From growing up in an environment marked by her mother's struggles with alcohol and her own battles with trauma and poverty, she has transformed her life into one of purpose and healing. Her story is a testament to resilience and the power of self-love. Tanya delves into her personal experiences, sharing how she navigated the complexities of trauma, abandonment, and neglect.
She reveals how these early life challenges shaped her desire to become a therapist and help others avoid the pain she endured. But her path to self-love and effective parenting wasn't straightforward. It involved redefining values that were initially imposed by societal expectations, rather than her own aspirations. Dr. Powers and Tanya also explore the role of positive psychology in recovery. They discuss the Positive Intervention tool, which aims to cultivate positive habits for a fulfilling life.
Tanya emphasizes the importance of receiving positive feedback and how it played a crucial role in her journey towards self-acceptance and partnership with her children. Beyond her personal story, Tanya shares her professional insights gained from over 14 years in mental health and substance use fields. She talks about her innovative work in peer provider management, which has significantly increased productivity and allowed her to serve over 1600 people in her community.
Additionally, she touches on her consulting work across the U.S., focusing on anti-stigma initiatives and peer support programs. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone grappling with addiction, trauma, or poverty. Tanya's candid discussion offers practical tools and heartfelt encouragement, making it a must-listen for those seeking to turn their struggles into stepping stones for a better life.
