Shaping Reality: Trauma’s Influence on Our Perceptions
Who's creating your experience and whose voice are you listening to?
Ever wondered how your past shapes the way you see the world? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Your Personal Recovery', host David Molletti continues an insightful discussion on how we create and curate our experiences.

They explore how both minor and major traumas can color our reality, influencing everything from our emotional responses to our physical health. Quotes like 'Today I escaped anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions—not outside' by Marcus Aurelius serve as a springboard for deeper reflections on self-care and setting healthy boundaries.
The episode also highlights essential resources for tackling life's inevitable challenges, such as 'The Four Agreements' by don Miguel Ruiz and 'The Body Keeps the Score' by Bessel van der Kolk. Whether you're just starting your sobriety journey or have been on this path for a while, this episode offers valuable insights into managing post-traumatic stress disorder and creating a more balanced life. Join the conversation and discover how understanding trauma can help you reshape your reality.
