Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery
"Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery" will help those who want to heal to move from being fragmented to whole.
Hi, I'm Barb! I'm a boundaries coach and a woman in recovery. I share my experience, strength and hope from 12 step recovery in each episode. They're all 20 minutes or less and each episode is about a specific topic.
Many life lessons from 12 step recovery are applicable to those in and outside of recovery. This podcast brings some of those lessons to the airwaves, including such topics as learning acceptance, recognizing and overcoming victim mentality and establishing healthy boundaries.
Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery
The Meaning Behind the Saying “If You’re Hysterical, It’s Historical” | Episode 277
Whether you’re in recovery or not, you may have heard the saying, “If you’re hysterical, it’s historical.” This phrase refers to the times in our lives when we may have an emotional reaction that felt completely out of proportion to the situation at hand and gives some insight into some unresolved trauma from our past. This week’s episode 277 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about the meaning behind the saying, “If you’re hysterical, it’s historical."
Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:
- When we experience a triggering situation in the present, it’s often linked to past trauma, even if we don’t consciously remember the original event.
- The difference between “big T” and “little t” trauma.
- The path to healing starts with dealing with the trauma at the root of your reaction, not the present-day trigger.
If you’re noticing these emotional triggers pop up in your life, I encourage you to seek support through programs like ACA or work with a trauma-informed therapist to uncover and process past wounds. You’d be surprised how healing it can be.
Are you saying yes when you really want to say no? Are you putting yourself last? Perhaps you're the consummate accommodator whose people-pleasing ways are wearing you out. If so, you're a perfect fit for my 12-week private coaching program!
