In this insightful episode, Stewart sits down with Natasha Rae, a psychologist with her own lived experience of trauma. Natasha opens up about growing up in a dysfunctional family and the profound impact it had on her mental health. She discusses the importance of having a strong support system and finding meaning and purpose in life, even in the face of adversity.
Natasha introduces the concept of positive psychology and explains the PERMA model, which focuses on cultivating positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishments. She emphasizes that despite experiencing trauma, it’s possible not only to survive but to thrive and live a fulfilling life.
The conversation also delves into the concept of ‘mattering’ Natasha explains this as the glue that connects us to others. She explores how feeling like we matter to someone, and helping others feel the same, fosters a sense of belonging and connection. She sheds light on the societal issue of the lack of significant adults in children’s lives, which can lead to feelings of insignificance.
