Once we understand that it's normal, that in and of itself is healing to recognize that, because we're not really abnormal from having gone through some kind of trauma.
Ever wondered how some people manage to turn their darkest moments into sources of strength? In this episode of The Vegas Therapist, Ryan Wynder sits down with Dr. Randall Bell, the author of 'Post-Traumatic Thriving'. Dr. Bell isn't just any expert; he's been on the front lines of disaster recovery for events like Hurricane Katrina and the World Trade Center attacks. He's also faced his own battles with PTSD from childhood.
Together, they break down the three stages of trauma outlined in Dr. Bell's book: Dive, Survive, and Thrive. The Dive Stage is all about that initial shock and disbelief. It’s the moment when everything feels like it's crashing down. Then comes the Survive Stage, where coping mechanisms kick in and you start experimenting with ways to get through the day. Finally, there's the Thrive Stage, where you find faith and connect to something greater than yourself. Dr.
Bell emphasizes that everyone's reactions to trauma are normal, and it's all about using that energy to set goals and build resilience. Ryan and Dr. Bell also chat about the importance of experimentation during the Survive Stage. It's not just about getting by; it's about finding what works for you and growing from it. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt insights that can help anyone dealing with trauma.
Whether you're in the midst of your own struggle or supporting someone else, you'll find valuable takeaways to help navigate the journey from merely surviving to truly thriving.
