How to Heal the Wounds of Childhood with Trauma Specialist Liz Mullinar

Jun 16, 2020

I began this show with a reflection on the incredible wave of empathy, support and ‘wokeness’ that is sweeping the world right now in response to the killing of George Floyd and others by police. I urge my fellow white listeners to drop by and watch a video I created on my Facebook page, and check out the anti-racism resources I have listed. Also, I urge all to make a commitment to how you will stand up and engage in fighting hate, prejudice and racism. The time is now!

Then I read an essay I wrote back in 2013, when I was still actively grieving my daughter’s death. I learned SO much in that time, and here I share ‘How to Keep the Faith When All Hell Is Breaking Loose’. May you find some comfort here, especially in such intense and powerful times.

This essay was included in an audiobook I recorded last year titled The Joy of Letting Go.

I loved my conversation with wise woman and trauma expert Liz Mullinar. She recorded with me from her home in Australia, where she has helped thousands of adults heal from childhood trauma. This is an important show to dig into if you know you’re suffering from the effects of the past.

You can heal, friend, and Liz shows you how in our show … and in her wonderful book, linked below.

In our conversation, I learned:

• The definition of trauma and what happens to the brain
• The difference between women and men in trauma treatment
• How untreated trauma affects our ability to parent well
• How to know if you’re suffering from old trauma
• What has been lacking in trauma recovery work until now
• How we can stop being a victim … and learn to be happy
• Liz’s particular treatment process and how it impacts the neuro-wiring of the brain
• What gets people into trauma therapy to begin with

I hope you find this as useful and interesting as I did.

As ever … I’m so very glad you are here!

Big hug!
