E.169 Ann Diment on Trauma, Resilience, and the Power of Creativity
Description
What if the key to unlocking your potential lies within the untold stories of your past? On today's episode, we sit down with Ann Diment, a best-selling author and an authority on health, safety, and recovery, as she navigates the complex landscape of trauma, mental health, and resilience. Anne brings a wealth of personal experience, sharing her journey through PTSD, an ADD diagnosis during menopause, and her emotional connection to 9-11. Her story is not just about the challenges she faced but the transformative power of kindness and holistic methodologies in healing childhood trauma.
In a heartfelt conversation, Ann opens up about her early struggles with emotional and physical abuse, parental separation, and the feelings of not belonging that shadowed her youth. These painful experiences led her to excel academically and overwork herself, resulting in repeated burnouts. But it was during one severe burnout that Anne found a turning point, seeking therapy and self-understanding that would eventually inspire her to write a book on overcoming burnout. We also explore the difficulties of managing an ADHD diagnosis and how these insights have shaped her path to resilience.
Get ready to be inspired by the therapeutic power of creativity and laughter. Ann discusses how tapping (EFT), art, and poetry have been instrumental in managing her emotional responses and stress triggers. Learn about the three-brain model and how creative activities can enhance resilience, as well as the fascinating benefits of laughter yoga. This episode is a treasure trove of insights, emphasizing the importance of reframing self-identity beyond medical conditions and the transformative journey of self-discovery. Tune in for an enriching conversation that promises to leave you with valuable tools for your own healing and personal growth.
