Everyone experiences trauma at some point in their lives, but it doesn't have to hold you back from living your best life.Everyone experiences trauma at some point in their lives. Trauma doesn't have to be something severe; it can result from being fired from your job, infidelity, abuse, or just a loss of purpose... anything that happens to you that causes a chronic negative emotional experience and which keeps you from achieving your best self.Fortunately, there is hope for you to contribute, be more productive, and live a better life. Most of what holds you back is not circumstance, but rather a block that you may not even know you have. Therapy is a fantastic model, but it's not efficient for immediate realizations of invisible blocks. Mastin Kipp, author, speaker and life interventionist, uses a model based on how the human being is wired and pattern recognition. Every pattern as a correlating belief/emotion. Mastin is able to drill down to the root cause rather quickly and shift the pattern.It's also important that you avoid passing down patterns and traumatic fallout to your children. To achieve this, Mastin suggests living their purpose, as well as your own. Focus on what lights them up, and amplify that on a daily basis.Grace is unearned. No matter how much "karma" you've built up, grace is your YES in your life. It's often not realized in the moment and can manifest in the form of a loss. But, looking back, that point of your life may have been a major shift.Listen in as Mastin joins host Andrea Donsky to explain his approach to helping individuals overcome trauma and live a life of purpose.
