Episode Summary
In this episode, I welcome Doctor Anne Katona, an expert in trauma recovery and educational consulting. The discussion begins with the concept of how past trauma, often stemming from childhood, can unknowingly shape a person’s life and behavior. Doctor Katona shares her personal story of surviving a car accident in her youth that led to significant trauma and PTSD, later compounded by experiences of substance abuse and sexual assault. She recounts how, after years of struggle and self-medication, she sought healing through spiritual awakening, therapy, and focusing on her well-being.
Doctor Katona describes how her personal journey inspired her to help others, especially in the field of education. She now works with schools to create safe environments and prevent violence. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing trauma, seeking professional help, and learning self-care as part of personal growth. She also highlights how shifting the mindset from “what’s wrong with me?” to “what happened to me?” is crucial for healing.
The episode concludes with a conversation on how many people, especially entrepreneurs, often mask their struggles by staying busy, using this as a form of self-medication. Doctor Katona encourages listeners to confront their fears and traumas for a more peaceful and fulfilling life, stressing the importance of professional help, trust, and self-awareness in the healing process.
