How do you gain the power to change the narrative in your own story? How can you wake up and realize you’re the heroine that you’ve been looking for? Principal Social Worker at Mastery of Self Inc. Canada, Tanasha Smith joins Katherine as this week’s guest on My Dead Dragon to answer those questions and more. Join the discussion on breaking free of generational cycles, accepting trauma, and rebuilding a new you.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Tanasha found the best way to understand her feelings was to journal. Writing it down allowed her to see the way she thought about herself.
It’s easy to go to a place of shame, guilt, and responsibility after trauma, but you need to discover that it’s not your fault and the things that happened to you weren't the result of your actions.
Tanasha’s Grandfather told her that the more she shared her story the more she would see that it was not her fault.
When we’re not willing to feel, then we’re not willing to heal. Moving forward is a conscious choice we make every day.
A young person thinks it’s less damaging to blame themselves for things rather than accept that someone who is supposed to look out for us is to blame.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I didn’t do it to myself, but I blamed myself’
‘Self-work doesn’t come to an end, there are just different seasons’
‘When I defeated that dragon, I was speaking life into myself’
‘Our pain becomes our purpose’
