No Offence, But That's Triggering - with Georgia Ash

Hey whānau, thanks for showing up and shutting down multiple cities
on the weekend at the #BlackLivesMatter protests. Very powerful and
very important. But these protests and the past few weeks have
brought a lot to the surface, including traumas and emotions that
we may not have acknowledged before.So! Today I'm joined by
clinical psychologist (and my mum) Georgia to chat about trauma and
triggers. We discuss what they are, how they can present and how we
can cope with triggers that appear in our day to day life. We also
have a chat about intergenerational and the idea that the trauma
that we live with is not necessarily our own. Plus, Georgia gives
advice on how to best discuss your triggers with someone and how to
function in a workplace where your co-workers have no understanding
of your struggle.For mental health support you can call Lifeline on
13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636In this episode we mention
Roots (the tv series and the book) by Alex Haley, and Emmett Till.
Definitely educate yourself on both!Georgia recommends reading The
Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk. Check to see if your
local bookstore has it in stock before heading online :)Keep up to
