Oftentimes the evidence for trauma isn't in the thing that happened, it's in the symptoms that you're chronically carrying around today.
How do you heal from narcissistic abuse and complex trauma? In this episode of 'Recovery Nuggets', David Clemen welcomes Ingrid Clayton, PhD, a seasoned psychotherapist and author of 'Believing Me: Healing from Narcissistic Abuse and Complex Trauma'. With a background in transpersonal and clinical psychology, Ingrid brings a holistic approach to therapy, using techniques like Somatic Experiencing and EMDR to help her clients navigate their recovery journeys.
Ingrid's philosophy is rooted in the belief that a therapist can't guide clients further than they have gone themselves. Since 2004, she has been incorporating her personal experiences, intuition, and education into her practice, fostering genuine connections with her clients. Throughout the episode, David and Ingrid delve into the intricacies of trauma and addiction, discussing how to combat compassion fatigue and the importance of self-care.
Ingrid also opens up about her own healing process through writing, which allowed her to confront and process her past pain. One key takeaway from this conversation is the need to recognize trauma symptoms. Ingrid emphasizes that trauma often manifests in the chronic symptoms we carry, rather than the events themselves. She encourages listeners to tune into their bodies and be curious about their symptoms as a step towards healing.
This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone looking to understand and recover from past traumas, making it a must-listen for those on their own healing journeys.
