Are Your Child's Friendships Healthy? with Michelle Mitchell

Trauma is something we all encounter in different ways -but what if healing from it could lead to growth, deeper connection and a renewed sense of purpose?

In this episode of Well, Hello Anxiety, Dr Jodi Richardson speaks with clinical psychologist Dr. Edith Shiro, author of The Unexpected Gift of Trauma: The Path to Post-Traumatic Growth.

Dr Edith explains what trauma really is, why it isn't always a major or obvious event, and how trauma can affect our relationship with ourselves, others and the world around us.

Together, Jodi and Dr Edith explore her five-stage model of post-traumatic growth:

Radical acceptance
Safety and protection
New narratives
Integration
Wisdom and growth

They also discuss why healing isn't necessarily linear, how we can recognise intergenerational trauma, and how becoming aware of what we've inherited from previous generations can help us create a different story for the generations that follow.

Dr Edith shares a powerful perspective on healing: “I’m healing my wound and from the wound comes the medicine and from the pain comes a purpose.”

The Unexpected Gift of Trauma: Finding Growth, Healing & Purpose After Pain with Dr. Edith Shiro

When anxiety makes school attendance feel impossible, what alternatives are available?

In this episode, Dr Jodi Richardson chats with Alex Cork, Head of Admissions at Crimson Global Academy, about online schooling for young people experiencing anxiety, school avoidance, bullying or challenges in the traditional school environment.

They explore the difference between homeschooling and online schooling, how online learning can help rebuild academic confidence and resilience, and how young people can maintain friendships and social connections outside the traditional classroom.

Alex also shares stories of students who have used online schooling as a stepping stone back to traditional school - and explains why sometimes, finding the right school environment simply means doing things differently.
