Trauma, overworking and stopping the cycle

Yesterday I was interviewed by the amazing Sarah Grace from Living Limitlessly.

I have been working with Sarah for a few weeks because over the last few years of working on myself and my self care, and finding balance in my own life, it was time to address and shift the trauma I suffered as a child.

Sarah works with women who have suffered sexual abuse and become workaholics to mask the trauma. I was that workaholic. The problem with that was that I was neglecting myself. Both my mental and physical health. I ignored it in the hope it would pass and thought I could just barrel on through it. I was wrong.

I spent a long time being someone I was not, which also impacted on my mental and physical health.

When my physical health reached breaking point, I knew it was time to make changes. They were not easy and they took time, but they started to embed and now I have balance in my life with work and home, with myself and my past.

It is possible to make changes for yourself. It is possible to recover from trauma and stop using work as a way to avoid dealing with it. It is possible to achieve balance.
