    How Trauma Blocks Love with Frank Anderson

    How Trauma Blocks Love with Frank Anderson

    For some people, loving relationships seem impossible. Our culture has given us many lies about love and intimacy, like the idea that we should be able to find our soulmate or that true love is easy. Unfortunately, many of us also suffer from complex PTSD due to relational trauma and have not seen or been a part of a healthy, secure relationship. So, has your past trauma made you incapable of having a healthy relationship? What if you’ve been abused so severely in childhood or adolescence or adulthood that you wonder if you can trust other people again?

    In this podcast episode (final one for Season 4), Ameé speaks with Dr. Frank Anderson, a psychiatrist and brain-based psychotherapist about an innovative way to work with complex PTSD from abuse called Internal Family Systems. This therapy helps heal relational trauma by addressing the parts of yourself who have been hurt and haven’t healed yet. By identifying these parts and listening to their stories, they can begin to let go of old wounds and learn new ways of being in relationships without re-experiencing past traumas.

    Are You a Boundary Violator with Audrey Holst

    Are you a boundary violator?

    If we are not aware of our own boundaries and how we violate them, then it's very easy to be unaware that we're violating other people's boundaries. We may think that what we're doing is helpful or even beneficial for the person whose boundary has been violated but in reality, it can cause more harm than good. In this episode, Ameé talks with professional coach Audrey Holst about raising our self-awareness around whether we unintentionally and regularly violate other people's personal boundaries.

    Do we do things because we think we know better? Do we invalidate other people's decisions because we don't understand them? Are we really trying to help others or are still just trying to take away our own discomfort? And if so, why do these things matter anyway - especially when someone else doesn't seem bothered by whatever it is that you've done! In this episode also learn what to do if discover that violating other people’s personal boundaries.

Feels like me

It talks so much to me it’s both heartbreaking and nurturing

Property and HOA managers suffer

On the podcast about careers that cause suicide and mental health problems, I am shocked that no one talked about HOA and property managers. It is a sick industry and everyone denies that there’s a problem and they gaslight like there’s no tomorrow. You’re blamed for not being able to take the daily abuse. Drug and alcohol abuse is on the rise, yet no one in the industry talks about it. I am shocked and dismayed that you or your guest never brought this up.
