In this week's episode of The Trauma and Healing Podcast, we go back to a conversation from 2022 with mindfulness expert Orlaith O'Sullivan. This engaging discussion predates the podcast itself, harking back to a time when I was initiating thought-provoking dialogues on Instagram Live.
In this powerful episode, Nessa and I delve into the topics of confidence, body autonomy, and the impact of trauma on women. Nessa challenges the fashion industry's flawed emphasis on the hourglass figure (amongst others) as the ideal body, shedding light on the fact that only 8% of the population naturally possesses this shape. Nessa explores the freedom that comes with accepting our bodies as they are, recognising that our worth is not defined by societal standards.
In this episode, we explore Deirdre O'Reilly's multifaceted approach to healing, which encompasses a wide range of modalities, including Reiki, craniosacral therapy, and innovative hike psych facilitation. Her dedication to her clients' well-being and passion for discovering new ways to promote healing make her a sought-after therapist and an inspiring figure in the holistic health and wellness community.
In this episode, I sit down with the accomplished Leona O'Neill, the head of journalism at Ulster University, to discuss her journey from growing up in Belfast to the co-editor and author of Breaking: Trauma in the Newsroom to her current role as a mentor to the next generation of journalists. Leona shares how witnessing the death of journalist Lyra McKee triggered a trauma response and how ultimately, this led to her personal experience of post-traumatic growth. We delve into her journey of healing, from the adrenaline of chasing stories to being stalked in a coffee shop, and how she found the strength to thrive and turn her experiences into an opportunity for growth. Join us for an inspiring conversation about trauma, resilience, and the power of storytelling.
