“"I had the choice and I made a choice to be a terrible human being"”
Ever wondered about the impact of trauma you've passed onto others? This episode of Levelheaded Talk dives into the rarely discussed topic of 'Delivered Trauma'. Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero explore the idea that trauma isn't just something we experience – it's something we might inadvertently pass on. Through candid conversations, they unravel their own experiences of delivering trauma, often unknowingly, while growing up in challenging environments.
It's a humbling reflection on how past traumas can shape our actions and identities, sometimes leading us to deflect hardships onto others. You'll find yourself nodding along as they share personal anecdotes about realising the choices they made weren't always the best ones. The duo emphasises that these patterns are not unique to them; almost everyone has faced similar situations. But here's the silver lining – acknowledging these actions is the first step to change.
They urge listeners to embrace their 'intoxicated identity' and transform it into a more compassionate self. The episode offers a fresh perspective on healing by focusing not on the trauma itself, but on the aftermath and how it influences our emotional sobriety. If you're curious about understanding the deeper layers of your behaviour and are ready to face those 'terrible human being' moments, this episode is a must-listen.
It's not just about recognising past mistakes but about finding freedom in accepting them. So, why not take a moment to reflect on your own journey and see where it leads you?
