Lori Bean welcomes Registered Psychologist Erin Bonner back to the show to discuss trauma, how it can present, and the different modalities of support that can assist trauma sufferers in finding peace and wellness. Erin Bonner counts working through trauma as one of her specialities and she is not hesitant to share her own personal experience with PTSD to help illustrate how healing is possible. Erin and Lori examine how working through trauma does involve sitting with unpleasant and traumatizing emotions, but Erin also shares how different therapies can help clients with emotional tools and resilience before they embark on, perhaps, work in Prolonged Exposure, EMDR, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy modalities. Lori and Erin’s message is one of hope in connecting with the wisdom of the right therapist that can guide you through trauma healing.About Erin Bonner:Erin Bonner is a Registered Psychologist with a Master’s of Arts in Counselling Psychology.

Lori Bean 00:55Welcome to today's podcast. My name is Lori Bean. And we are here today. Joining us again, Erin Bonner, registered psychologist here at Maliya. Hi, Erin. Erin Bonner 01:08Hello. Lori Bean 01:10Welcome back! Erin Bonner 01:11I'm so excited to do another one of these. Lori Bean 01:13So fun. So fun. And I think we decided today that what we're seeing a lot here at Maliya is a lot of people coming in with trauma. And I think Erin is the perfect person to dive into this a little more deeply. So we're gonna discuss, I guess, the intersection of trauma and wisdom. So welcome, Erin. What does this mean to you? Erin Bonner 01:39So I agree, we see so many different types of trauma and I, in my therapy, use the word trauma really liberally. And I usually give a disclaimer to all of my clients that this is a word that I bring up. And I really try and normalize because trauma is an experience that doesn't have to make sense. It's not you were in a car accident therefore you have trauma, you were assaulted therefore you have trauma. It can happen in such small moments in ways that lots of the world invalidates. And so the way that we're seeing trauma show up here, at Maliya, and in my own practice, is pretty vast. And so a lot of the work that I do, because trauma is one of my specialties, PTSD in particular, complex PTSD, which is kind of a new age term, it's not technically a diagnosis, and it fits for a lot of people. There's this desire, this hoping that healing trauma will, you know, make us know everything or really help us understand ourselves and the world. And I think there's kind of this, this concept of, if you have trauma, therefore you will be wise. And I think it's more than that. And I think that pairing can actually just invalidate the experience of trauma a little bit, it devalues. Erin Bonner 01:40Oh are you speaking to like - oh, that's interesting that you say that - you know, the narrative that everything happens to you for a reason, and you've had this experience that changed your whole life? And so you bring that into the world, and you're going ...
