Manage episode 424680476 series 3490806
Imagine discovering a calling that not only changes your own path but also has the power to transform lives caught in the darkness of trauma. Rosie Cataldo did just that, shifting gears from public affairs to become a fervent advocate for trauma prevention and healing. In an intimate conversation, Rosie shares her journey, a spark ignited by a personal brush with the real and unsettling threat of sex trafficking. She opens up about how life’s difficult transitions, though daunting, can lead to profound personal growth and become a beacon of hope for others.
This episode unveils the delicate interplay of empathy, awareness, and innovative healing techniques that Rosie and others in the field employ to guide survivors towards recovery. We discuss the array of non-traditional methods like breathwork, tapping, and Reiki that soothe the nervous system without re-traumatizing. And for those of us who absorb the emotional weight of our work, we share our personal practices for staying grounded and balanced, emphasizing the importance of self-care in maintaining effectiveness and compassion in the healing professions. Rosie's story and insights serve as powerful reminders of the resilience of the human spirit, and how we can all hold space for healing in the face of life's most harrowing challenges.
