Here's Hoping with Jayda G Trauma Healing, Personal Growth & Asking for Help with Jimanekia Eborn
Content Warnings: Murder, Rape, Sexual Assault
In this powerful and at times hard hitting but at the same time joyful episode, Jimanekia shares the very personal reasons she has become a trauma specialist. She shares very helpful insight into what trauma is and how to notice if trauma is showing up in yourself or people in your life; as well as the importance of taking a holistic and somatic perspective to trauma as well as psychological and social one. Jimanekia talks with Jayda about how to actually ask for help as someone who struggles to and why you need to be really specific and teach people how to show up for you. At the same time she talks to why each person needs to take responsibility for our capacity to support others and set boundaries around that and the importance of directly communicating to a person needing help if you are burnt out. Jayda also asks Jimanekia about generational trauma and her advice on how to break out of roles and family systems that no longer serve you as well as if Jimanekia thinks one can overcome trauma and her reflection on the difference between wiping away what has happened to you, rather, changing how things affect you. This conversation is also full of Jimanekia’s advice for daily tips and habits to help yourself work through trauma, live in self worth and with self love, how to talk back to the negative voice in your head and the radical importance of centring joy in your life even if you are navigating trauma, and how to take ‘healing off the pedestal’ and move towards a growing mindset instead.
