Title: S5EP17, I Was Given A Gift in the Pain with Cage Rattler Dr. Bridget Cooper

Summary:
I felt like I was being split in two. I read two of Dr. Bridget Cooper's books at the same time. "Unflappable: How Smart People Quit Overthinking. Ditch the Drama. & Thrive at Work" was one of them. Dr. Cooper teaches us 70 techniques that help us solve problems differently at work and take our power back.

The second book, "little landslides," talks about her childhood where she was sexually, physically, and verbally abused by her father and mother. After trying to kill herself 3 times as a teenager, Dr. Cooper tells us about her choice to either end it or begin a new life.

This interview is fascinating from many points of view:

- if you are still hiding your shame and trauma
- if you were abused and think it was your fault
- if you just feel stuck, victimized, and powerless
- if you are having interpersonal conflict at work
- if you are feeling stress and don't know how to reduce it

And I could go on and on. Dr. Cooper has 21 years of experience studying people, brain science, why people do what they do, and how to thrive. Don't miss this powerful and insightful interview.
