Trauma Therapist, Educator + Storyteller - Linda Thai
I love this quote from my brilliant friend and today’s guest, Linda Thai. She says, “Trauma isn't just what happened, that shouldn't have happened. It's also what didn't happen, that should have happened.”
Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re once again super-duper lucky to be talking with trauma therapist, educator and storyteller Linda Thai.
Whenever I spend time with or speak with Linda - I always walk away having discovered something about myself, learned something new or have an opportunity to stretch myself through visiting places of creative tension.
So buckle up for the ride, because in this episode, we go on a fantastic journey that covers a range of topics that I think will land, resonate, create curiosity and be helpful for so many listeners!
One of the things we discuss is her newest therapy that walks people “back in time” to face the hurt, pain, and people in their past, and ultimately helps release some of the burden of their childhood traumas.
In providing the space to speak through their younger selves to the ones that hurt them, this liberating process leads to a greater understanding of the actions of the adults in their life who failed to provide the care they so desperately wanted and needed.
It is through these powerful realizations, that individuals find their way to release the burden of childhood trauma and move forward as a more empowered version of themselves.
This episode isn’t just about surface level healing, it's an invitation to dive deep into ourselves and to learn how to be better advocates for ourselves and others on their journeys.
The possibilities are endless. Get ready to embrace a whole new perspective on healing!
PS - If you haven’t listened to the first episode I did with Linda - EP114 - Our Bodies Hold Our Stories - I encourage you to check it out… I think you’ll love it!
