In this episode, I share a systematic and proven approach I've used for having difficult conversations with the people closest to me about my own traumatic childhood experiences. I emphasize the importance of understanding your intentions, creating the right space and time, being honest and vulnerable, setting boundaries, and respecting the other person's response.
I caution against turning friends and family into therapists or emotional support systems, and instead focus on building meaningful connections through these conversations. I stress that it takes time and patience, and that no single conversation can change your life forever.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling to open up to their loved ones about their past traumas. I provide actionable tips and a framework to have these crucial conversations in a constructive manner. Whether you're seeking support, guidance or just want to build deeper relationships, this podcast will equip you with the tools to navigate this sensitive topic successfully.
