Community Healing: Joe Ryan and Drew Linsalata on Overcoming Trauma Together

No, you can't do it completely on your own. The whole goal is to get back into society, get back into humanity, start living a more full life. We all need to be part of something greater than ourselves: a big collective community where we can feed off of each other, where we feel like we belong.
Feeling like you're battling trauma alone? In this episode of 'It's Not You, It's Your Trauma', Joe Ryan teams up with Drew Linsalata to tackle the vital role of community in recovery. Joe, a Certified Peer Support Specialist, shares his journey from being weighed down by trauma and shame to finding strength through communal support. Drew, a former anxiety sufferer turned advocate, brings his expertise to the table, emphasizing that recovery isn't a solo mission.
They both agree: while solitude can help you process emotions, it can't replace the power of a supportive network. Joe and Drew dive into why social connections, be it family, friends, or community groups, are essential for healing. They explore the benefits of therapy and support groups, stressing that isolation can hinder your progress. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, they illustrate how exposure therapy can aid anxiety recovery and how community support fosters personal growth.
They also discuss the importance of building trust with your own struggles, so you can face the world with confidence. Joe highlights that the ultimate goal is to reintegrate into society and live a fuller life. Both hosts underscore the necessity of engaging with the world and not letting fear keep you isolated. If you're ready to lean into your fears and embrace discomfort as a path to healing, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that could be the first step in your journey towards recovery.
