Podcast appearances and mentions of lucille zimmerman

When you feel like you’re on the edge of a breakdown, you are likely on the verge of a breakthrough. My experiences with this truth have threatened my dreams countless times—but they have also provided rich fertilizer that has helped me tend my dreams and made them grow even bigger. However, I’ve often needed a coach to help me see the opportunity, and to show me how to take advantage of adversity.   Among a few others, one of the coaches I follow is Michael Hyatt. I love his book and highly encourage you to read, Your Best Year Ever: A 5 Step Plan for Achieving Your Highest Goals.   If you feel stifled in your dream-tending efforts, and want to move toward your best year ever, face your present—why are you where you’re at? Ask yourself these questions:  Why is this happening?  What has happened in the past that’s affecting my emotions today?  What have I stuffed?  Where have I settled?  One of the methods I learned from Michael Hyatt is writing your answers out—there’s power in putting words down in black and white. Until you process your past, you are not going to be able to freely pursue your future dreams.   Books and podcasts are inexpensive schools of knowledge, and can teach you how to tend your dreams more effectively and efficiently. Implement what you learn, and you will run ahead most dreamers.    Filling Needs: Are you numbing out in front of the TV, settling for apathy, versus truly tending your dreams? What do you “get to do,” that you’ve forgotten is a privilege? How can you make your someday thoughts a today reality?  No matter what life hands you, you can have vibrancy, tenacity, and energy, when you intentionally tend your dreams.   This episode’s Dream Planting Tips: Don’t allow yourself to numb out, to hide, or to push down the pain. Be intentional to find healthy venting places to let off steam. A professional counselor, a trusted friend, an encouraging pastor usually provide safe places for you to land.   Don’t let your past keep you rooted where you are, preventing you from becoming what you want to be. Inspire yourself by reading the Dream Giver, by Bruce Wilkerson.    Produce something new that provides a different effect. Get up and do something one hour each day, actively, toward pursuing your dream.  Imagine yourself in success. What does it look, sound, taste, smell, and feel like?   Read and release yourself through Lucille Zimmerman’s amazing book, Renewed: Finding Your Inner Happy in an Overwhelmed World.  What was missing in the past year of your life? Professionally, relationally, emotionally, mentally, financially? Make a list of the books or podcasts that could help you tend your dreams, and set a goal to begin filling yourself with education, inspiration, and encouragement. Schedule time with people who matter to you.  Invest in your dreams. Be reasonable, but give yourself the gift of learning more than you know today, by spending your money, energy, and time on education that will support your desires.

Tune in to hear Lucille Zimmerman share her research and wisdom and why and how some people not only survive trauma, but thrive after it.  "Trauma is anything the brain can’t make sense of, and always when trauma happens, we make up stories and beliefs about ourselves, like 'I’m such a bad person' or 'I deserve it.'"  Find out what Lucille says are the keys to overcoming trauma in your own life on this week's episode.  

When I first started blogging, the primary focus was living with Dissociation, Anxiety, and PTSD. After all, those are the things that I struggled with the most. Being a survivor of childhood trauma, I never knew that I could have PTSD; for so long I thought that was only for those who were in the military. I had never even heard of Dissociation until I spent a couple of years working with a therapist. Anxiety, well I knew I was anxious but I didn't realize how much it was affecting my life and how those anxious feelings had turned into full-blown anxiety.As time went on and my work with a therapist continued, and then working with a trauma informed coach, I began to learn about this concept of Post Traumatic Growth. It sounded intriguing to me since I was engulfing into healing so much that I figured it had to start paying off eventually, and this Post Traumatic Growth thing sounded like the path I was headed toward, which was exciting.Wait, did I just say that trauma work was exciting? Well not really the trauma work itself, but the healing sure was. That's how I approached this journey; as a learning experience. I figured, if I had endured the childhood sexual abuse between 5-10 years old, if I had experienced more bullying in middle school than I cared to admit, then I should at least try to learn from it and use it to my advantage. I didn't want the trauma to be the end of my story.My guest on this episode of the podcast, is Counselor, Teacher, and Author, Lucille Zimmerman. She is an expert on Post Traumatic Growth, and shares her insight on this subject with us on the show.Lucille Zimmerman has a Master of Arts in Counseling degree, and is a Licensed Professional Counselor. She works with individuals and groups from supportive to insight-oriented psychotherapy, and has worked in a variety of mental health facilities, which included crises/resource oriented counseling to more one-on-one insight therapy.I have experience treating people in crises, coping with health and midlife issues, eating disorders, struggles related to self-esteem, child abuse, trauma, and marital difficulties. I work with adults treat many people with a wide spectrum of emotional struggles and concerns. I work from a bio-psycho-social context and my treatment approach is adapted to each individual according to need. I am also trained in EMDR for trauma.On the podcast today we dive into some specific aspects of Post Traumatic Growth, including:Some of her story, and how past traumatic events in her life, including the Columbine Shooting in 1999, affected her and lead to begin searching for how she could help others who experienced all types of trauma.Just because you experienced trauma, does that automatically mean you will get PTSD, and what factors contribute to PTSD?Why do some people grow as a result of trauma, while others stay stuckKeys to Post Traumatic Growth, and ways that we can help ourselves heal and learn from the trauma.How ruminating can actually be a good thing, and even necessary, in order to experience Post Traumatic Growth.I encourage you to listen to Lucille share with you all of those topics and more on the podcast. We spend a good deal of time talking about those keys to growth and why some people struggle while others are able to heal; and as we talked I was examining my own life and how some of the skills and strategies I used to during some deep parts of my healing, were the very same ones she mentioned as well. In fact, I still use those skSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sPH8pMZ)

Cheri and Amy process lessons learned from Lucille Zimmerman about play and grief.  There are choices to be made in both: Will we choose the bonding play provides? Will we let time soften and redeem?

We've pinned negative labels on some very human processes like play and grieving. Play is often consider slacking and grief is sometimes seen as a pity party. Lucille Zimmerman, author of Renewed, explains why both are essential to the full life and how they serve as powerful tools to creativity and healing.

I received a lot of notes recently from community members who are using the term "reinventing themselves" to describe their current career activities. Many of us reach points in our careers where we decide to look inward to determine if we're on the path that's right for us.
