Hello Friends and welcome back to the Is That Soh Podcast!

Today on the podcast I have invited fellow podcaster and human connection & transformational coach, Emily Gough to come on and talk to us about the power of forgiveness and how forgiving someone who hurt you is actually for you.

Like a rug ripped out from under her, Emily’s life took an unexpected turn when she found out on Christmas Eve her ex had been having an affair for the last 9 years. Forced to take matters into her own hand, Emily ended the relationship, sold her house and nearly all her belongings, and booked a solo one-way ticket to the opposite side of the globe. Today, Emily inspires others through her podcast and coaching to take ownership of the circumstances life has handed them and create a deeper sense of meaning and purpose from major life transitions.

DID YOU KNOW THE 10 MOST STRESSFUL LIFE EVENTS ARE:

  1. Death of a loved one

  2. Divorce or Separation

  3. Getting Married

  4. Starting a New Job

  5. Workplace Stressors

  6. Financial Problems

  7. Moving

  8. Chronic Illness

  10. Transitioning to Adulthood

- FORGIVING SOMEONE DOESN’T MEAN -

  • You are excusing someones actions or pardoning them from committing them!

  • You NEED to tell the person that he or she is forgiven. You can keep that decision to yourself.

  • You won’t be triggered or have any further feelings about the situation.

  • There is nothing further to work out in the relationship and that you should let go of what happened if you want to move forward.

  • You should forget the incident ever happened.

  • You have to continue to include the person in your life.

  • You need to do for the other person. Many of the benefits around forgiveness are actually for you

4 Attachement Styles.png

- EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT STYLES -

Avoidant Attachment - an attachment style that develops during early childhood, often occurring in children who do not experience kind and sensitive responses to their needs or distress. Children with an avoidant attachment style may become very independent, both physically and emotionally and turn into adults who avoid conflict and have a hard time expressing their feelings.

Anxious Attachment - an attachment stye where a person may have a hard time feeling secure in relationships. As young children, they may cling to caregivers or become inconsolable when a caregiver leaves. As adults they become needy, argumentative, whiny, and even clingy, and often have a hard time trusting people. They may also exhibit low self worth.

Fearful-Avoidant/Disorganized Attachment - an attachment style that develops from a parent's consistent failure to respond appropriately to their child's distress, or by a parent's inconsistent response to their child's feelings of fear or distress. They may have at one moment experienced soothing, the next angry or overwhelmed causing them to become very fearful when in relationships.

Secure Attachment - an attachment style where the person feels secure sharing their feelings in a relationship and can trust their partner has the best intentions. As adults they are able to have trusting, lasting relationships, feel supported by their partner, are not afraid to seek out support and tend to have good self esteem.

A life crisis can be a divorce, disease, the death of a loved one or a devastation of some kind that can completely unravel us. It can also be a mid-life crisis where suddenly we start questioning what we’ve been doing, and how we’ve been living as we feel the undeniable urge calling us to live more deeply and fully. It can cause us to question everything we’ve known and everything that’s been familiar as we struggle to make sense of what happened. It can also cause us to face that fork in the road as we consider the next steps and a path different from the one we were on and one that can take us to find our greatest passion and purpose. How can you use this crisis as an opportunity to rebuild your body, mind, and life and create something even better than before? The Unshakable Woman will show you how

- TYPES OF SEXUALITY -

If you have been asking yourself ‘what is my sexuality?’, above are a few types (there are many more) of sexual orientations people identify with. Although people do not necessarily need to identify or label themselves as one type of sexual orientation, learning about the different types can help people better understand and relate to others. It can also help anyone questioning their identity deal with any oppression or suppression they have been enduring while also helping them feel less alone. Who knows, it may even help you find a community you feel comfortable sharing experiences with and people you can connect and relate to. Lastly, a person’s sexual orientation can change over time. We are human and change is constant so have grace and compassion with yourself, life experiences will help you learn what you like, what you don’t like, and who you want to be. Sometimes, the only way out of the forest is walking through it.

- TYPES OF TRAUMA -

Emotional Trauma / Psychological Trauma - is the result of extraordinarily stressful events that shatter your sense of security, making you feel helpless in a dangerous world. Psychological trauma can leave you struggling with upsetting emotions, memories, and anxiety that won't go away.

Childhood Trauma - often described as serious adverse childhood experiences, childhood trauma could include neglect, abandonment, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and witnessing abuse of a sibling or parent.

Physical Trauma - a serious injury to the body. Two main types of physical trauma are:

  • Blunt force trauma—when an object or force strikes the body, often causing concussions, deep cuts, or broken bones.

  • Penetrating trauma—when an object pierces the skin or body, usually creating an open wound.

Generational Trauma - trauma that isn't just experienced by one person but extends from one generation to the next (ie psychological distress experienced by children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors)

Complex Trauma - Complex trauma commonly occurs with repeated trauma against a child. Sometimes a parent or caregiver has experienced their own trauma, which is still affecting them e.g. from mental illness, drugs and alcohol misuse, or being physically or emotionally unavailable. Many situations can cause complex trauma in childhood however not all complex trauma is based in a persons childhood and can be a result of experiences of violence in the community, domestic and family violence, civil unrest, war trauma or genocide, refugee and asylum seeker trauma, sexual exploitation and trafficking, extreme medical trauma and/or re-traumatisation.

Collective Trauma or Mass Trauma - a psychological reaction to a traumatic event shared by any group of people and can affect even an entire society. Covid is an example of a collective trauma.

Betrayal Trauma - trauma perpetrated by someone with whom the victim is close to and reliant upon for support and survival.


- TRAUMA SYMPTOMS -

The 7 Love Types: Navigating love in a fractured world.

We live in a fractured world: pandemics, economic upheavals, mental illness, screen addiction, loneliness, alienation & separation. We look for love, get confused, get hurt and lose love. More than ever, we need better relationships with family, friends, love partners, and even strangers. Do we even understand love? Or the different love types? Science and Ancient Ideas can help us know love more, show love more, and secure it in our lives.

- Purchase Leisse’s Best Selling Book! -

This is a story of coming home to yourself. To Call Myself Beloved: A Story of Hope, Healing, and Coming Home offers the permission you’ve been looking for to simply be yourself and accept that with courage, pride, and grace. It really is that simple, even if it is that complicated. Too many of us are tethered to the expectations of other people, living with the feeling that we need to look outside ourselves to feel whole and loved, that we need to keep “the mask” on and hide who we really are; we read book after book, see therapist after therapist, take course after course, all with the intent to “fix what’s broken,” sending us on a quest to continuously solve a problem that isn’t real with a solution that doesn’t exist. And it leaves us dissatisfied, constantly wanting more. The secret is, we’re not broken, we are healing. We are learning to sort through the messages of what we’ve been told are true versus what we believe to be true, and we are figuring out how it aligns with what we want out of our life. Equal parts self-help, memoir, and cozied up on the couch talking to a trusted friend, To Call Myself Beloved is informed by lessons learned through navigating the most cataclysmic events of one woman’s life, and realizing throughout each one that “I am still okay.” Let this book guide you through the process of adulting—finding clarity in what you want, confidence in who you are, and the courage to stay true to both, even if that means making big changes in mindset and behavior—simply through the rebellious act of being yourself. This is the chaos of becoming. Can you love yourself enough to come home to yourself, and learn to call yourself beloved? Yes, you f*cking can.
