Episode 8: You don't have to set yourself on fire to keep others warmToday we meet with Karina, Dee, and Pamela, survivors and military mental health advocates, to discuss an incredibly important topic about mental health and healing. Each of us are survivors of trauma, but it doesn't define us.  This is a raw and authentic discussion about military life, trauma, and learning to set healthy boundaries while we both heal and advocate for others. Some important key topics from today: Setting healthy boundaries dealing with triggers navigating cultural barriers healing through re-trauma knowing your limitations maladaptive coping how to navigate the advocacy space in a healthy way personal accountability and self reflection dealing with negative people when you come out with your story publicly having self compassion as a survivor asking yourself why and how to not self blameAt time stamp --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sherohotline/support
