S2.33: Trauma is Already Outside the Box; But Are You Still Thinking Inside the Box? A Primer for Refreshing Leaders
May 03, 2024 Season 2 Episode 33
Kate Brassington

This is the first time I’ve created an episode where I’m connecting you back to one of the very first episodes on this podcast, launched around a year ago. 

Trauma remains widely misunderstood. It is put in a box and left in a corner for therapists and psychiatrists to deal with. But this only reflects a very small portion of people. Most people affected by trauma are in our villages, communities, towns, workplaces. 

This episode is for you to get acquainted with the idea that trauma is transdiagnostic… it no longer fits into a neat diagnostic “box”.

It is way outside that box, and you can get up to speed right now!

02:00 Holding space for others.

05:29 Impact of modern world on human evolution.

07:08 Promoting awareness for inclusion and compassionate leadership.

10:30 Understanding trauma for better mental health recovery.

13:21 Nervous system freeze in extreme survival situations.

18:35 Navigating societal pressure: trauma reactions and norms.

21:02 Importance of allyship and understanding nervous system.

26:51 Overcoming trauma, exploring various therapeutic modalities.

 The podcast episode is largely informed by the fantastic essay "Trauma Needs a Rebrand - Trauma, Psychedelics, Limitations of Our Existing Models, and Exciting Alternatives" by Liam Farquhar that I highly recommend you read too!
