"Recovery only starts when you're ready—and that's more than okay."
In this episode of The Recovered Life Show, Damon Frank and Kristina Dennis bring in Kyle Miller, LCPC, to dive into the complex ways trauma can manifest in our lives. With a casual yet deeply empathetic approach, they explore how recovery is a personal journey that starts when you're ready. Kyle shares his own resistance to therapy and how embracing it opened new pathways for healing.
He uses a sports team analogy to emphasise the importance of integrating various strategies for a successful recovery. The discussion highlights the significance of being aware of your body's responses to trauma. Kyle explains how recognising where emotions are felt physically can lead to better emotional management. He advises taking a step back and observing these feelings with curiosity, rather than reacting impulsively.
This helps create a safe space for emotions to flow naturally, allowing them to follow their course without interruption. The episode also touches on the role of mental health medication as a temporary relief—a Band-Aid over deeper wounds—urging listeners to look beyond quick fixes and aim for genuine healing. If you're grappling with trauma or know someone who is, this episode offers practical tools and heartfelt advice to guide you through the healing process.
