  • CPTSD: Reconnecting with Joy - Small Steps That Transform

    CPTSD: Reconnecting with Joy - Small Steps That Transform
    2025/07/28
    In this episode, we explore the complex journey of reconnecting with joy after trauma, addressing why happiness can feel dangerous when you're healing from CPTSD. Gregory shares personal insights about falling into the "healing trap" where managing trauma becomes so consuming that we forget how to actually enjoy life. Through listener stories, scientific research, and practical tools, we discover that joy isn't something we earn through perfect healing—it's a birthright that trauma tried to steal, and we can reclaim it one micro-moment at a time.

    Key Takeaways
    • Joy and trauma recovery aren't mutually exclusive—they can coexist as part of your healing journey
    • "Joy guilt" is a common trauma response that doesn't reflect your worth or right to happiness
    • Micro-moments of pleasure are valid building blocks of joy, not consolation prizes
    • Your post-trauma joy may look different than before, and that's perfectly okay
    • Small, consistent practices create neural pathways that make joy more accessible over time

    What You'll Discover
    • Why trauma creates "joy anxiety" and how to work with this protective mechanism
    • The neuroscience behind how positive emotions literally rewire your brain for resilience
    • Practical tools like "joy archaeology" and "joy stalking" to rebuild your happiness capacity
    • How to create joy rituals that work even when you don't feel joyful
    • Stories from listeners who found unexpected pathways back to authentic happiness

    Resources Mentioned
    • "The Body Keeps the Score" by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk - trauma's impact on the nervous system
    • Dr. Barbara Fredrickson's research on positive emotions and the "broaden-and-build theory"
    • Dr. Rick Hanson's work on neuroplasticity and "taking in the good" practices
    • Dr. Deb Dana's polyvagal theory and nervous system states
    • Dr. Kristin Neff's self-compassion research and its connection to life satisfaction
