I recently appeared on the popular radio show, Your Life After Trauma, hosted by Michele Rosenthal (@MicheleTrauma) on Seaview Radio. During the show, I give great tips on how you can discover your life purpose after trauma, plus why it’s so important to be a friend to youself.
If you get stuck after trauma, it’s likely for a few reasons:
- You keep looking back to assess the meaning of what happened
- You disconnect from the present moment due to fear and isolation
- You cannot imagine the future because your view of yourself and the world has been altered
Part of overcoming these blocks depends on your ability to reconnect to yourself in the present by discovering the purpose of who you are. Part of doing that involves becoming a friend to yourself.

Great post and conversation! Dr. Irwin, you’d also be a good speaker for PsychTalk (psychtalkradio.com).
Hi Jose: Thanks so much for your kind words. I’d love to appear on Psych Talk. Who do I talk to about that?
