It's time to normalize the 'I'm not fine' movement and learn how to work through the layers of trauma to get to a place where we feel safe expressing our true emotions.
Ever caught yourself saying 'I'm fine' when you're anything but? In this compelling episode of 'Flip The Script With Emma', host Emma invites Shanna McSorley, a mental and emotional wellbeing coach, to unpack the deep-seated habit of masking true emotions. Shanna, a mother of two and a survivor of a tumultuous upbringing filled with narcissism, domestic abuse, and addiction, shares her personal journey of realizing that the real trauma lay in her internalized reactions rather than the events themselves.
Shanna's story is a heartfelt exploration of how unresolved trauma can shape our lives, often leading us to suppress our true feelings with an automatic 'I'm fine'. Together, Emma and Shanna discuss the importance of acknowledging these hidden wounds and the non-linear path to healing. They dive into practical strategies like self-care and journaling, which can aid in processing trauma and fostering emotional well-being.
The episode also tackles the societal stigma surrounding trauma and the need for a collective shift towards empathy and understanding. Shanna emphasizes the significance of normalizing the 'I'm not fine' movement, encouraging listeners to embrace their vulnerabilities as a step towards genuine recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with internalized trauma or supporting someone who is.
It's a candid conversation that sheds light on the importance of breaking the stigma and fostering a culture of openness and support.
