[CONTENT WARNING]: Rape, sexual assault, and suicidal ideation

Today, Jan is joined by Rachel Hunter, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist whose passion is working with survivors of trauma and Complex PTSD. Rachel began working in the mental health field in 2016 while pursuing her Bachelor's degree in Psychology. She went on to earn her Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northwestern University. Rachel's passion for working with trauma and C-PTSD comes from her own lived experiences as a survivor of rape, sexual exploitation, and sexual assault. She feels an important part of her own healing has come from learning about trauma, connecting with other survivors, and consistently investing in therapy. Rachel strives to use her expertise and personal experience to help others heal from trauma and thrive as survivors.

Rachel is here to talk about her journey to becoming a therapist and her personal experiences with complex PTSD. Jan and Rachel discuss the impact of childhood experiences on relationships, the importance of self-worth and self-respect, and some steps to take in the direction of healing. Rachel shares her insights on building healthy coping mechanisms, practicing self-care, and mitigating suicidal ideation. She also introduces the SEEDS technique, which stands for sleep, eating, exercise, doctor's orders, and something for you to use as a tool for self-improvement and well-being; such as self-care, socializing, or sobriety. In this conversation, Jan and Rachel discuss various aspects of mental health, particularly focusing on living with clinical depression and seeking happiness and joy. They explore the concept of learned helplessness and the importance of taking control of one's life. They also discuss the power of making different choices and recognizing one's worthiness. The conversation emphasizes the importance of self-care, self-love, and finding hope and empowerment. Ultimately, they highlight the lifelong relationship with oneself and the potential for healing and empowering others.
