Summary: One of the most important things in healing from trauma and PTSD is reclaiming your sense of self. That is, creating The New You even when you don't know what that means. An easy way to get yourself focused is to use the purpose process; defining what's meaningful to you and working your connection to that into a daily practice. Today I interviewed Dr. Eric Maisel, an expert in this space. We talked about his new book, Life Purpose Boot Camp: The 8-Week Breakthrough Plan for Creating A Meaningful Life. In our conversation we covered: defining "life purpose" (it's not what you think!) the role of meaning how life purpose supports the recovery process how to forgive yourself whenever you need to how life purpose changes as you change My fave quote: Recovery becomes one our life purposes. Listen to your discussion here: Dr. Eric Maisel is the author of over 40 books ranging from creativity to writing to meaning, purpose and natural psychology.
