7 Mic-Drop Moments from Trauma Therapist Kobe Campbell
In case you missed out on the live podcast event I did with Kobe Campbell, here are some of the mic-drop moments that had everyone reaching for their notebooks and pens.
1. “We could be in the same moment and for you it might be traumatic and for me, I don’t even remember what it was. Trauma is extremely personal. That’s why we can’t look to culture to define our personal trauma.” -Kobe
2. “I’ve had clients in their late 60s and you put them in a certain situation and they will throw a tantrum because the things that happened to them when they were 6 and 7 were never resolved.” - Kobe
3. “We were taught to cover up what we didn’t like instead of connect with it… But we don’t get to have a sense of control over something we’re not looking at. We’re thinking putting it away and keeping it out of our sight is gonna help us feel better, but really it gives it permission to grow. There are things that grow in the dark… they’re called weeds.” -Kobe
4. “There’s the guilt that comes with living not in congruence with your own values and there’s the guilt that comes from anticipating someone else’s disappointment.” - Kobe
5. “Personally, I feel like it’s healthy to let a person know my intention is not to abandon you, even if the result is you feel abandoned.” -Kobe
6."I think I’m ready to try to feel something other than what I’m feeling right now. I think I’m ready to experience something that is beyond what my sadness is, but doesn’t discount it.”
7. “On the other side of all risk is the thing that we are longing to experience.” -Kobe
