You don't have to take anybody out. So I want to paint a picture that's accurate, that my dad had his own trauma history, which we didn't know what that was back in the day. I don't even know if Bessel van der Kolk's book was even out.
What if healing didn't have to follow a set path? In this episode of the Real Joy Recovery Podcast, Michele Waterman sits down with Dax Segers, an unconventional coach and consultant who believes in personalized journeys to recovery. Dax’s unique approach focuses on helping individuals reconnect with parts of themselves that have been ignored, wounded, or suppressed. He works with those who don't fit into traditional molds, guiding them through challenges, changes, and the process of reclaiming their lives.
From his own experiences with trauma, medication tapering, and embracing his identity as queer and trans, Dax shares invaluable insights into self-trust, intuition, and creativity. Michele and Dax discuss the flaws in conventional mental health care and the importance of feeling and processing emotions. They challenge the pathologization of human suffering and advocate for individual autonomy in mental health. This episode is a deep dive into resilience, self-discovery, and the power of reclaiming one's narrative.
Whether you're on your own healing journey or supporting someone else, you'll find this conversation both enlightening and empowering.
