287: Finding Support For Partners + Families Of Trauma Survivors with Heather Tuba

Finding our passion, wonder and inspiration while living with the effects of trauma in ourselves or someone we love and a candid discussion on the challenges of navigating the mental system to find support for complex PTSD.That's what this episode with Heather Tuba really highlights. How we can both survive some days and thrive other days.  We really dig into how much shame is created when mental health services fall short for trauma survivors and their partners and families. Heather is fierce and clear, boundaried and compassionate. I adore and respect her. Heather and I also talk about how she found me through an article titled CIGARETTES, SHAMES AND SELF COMPASSION, a very honest and vulnerable share of what it was like to move out of shame when I got the support I needed to recover from complex trauma. MORE ABOUT HEATHER: Heather Tuba is a writer, coach, and trauma-integrated practitioner with a specialization in support for partners of individuals with complex trauma. She is a graduate of the University of Winnipeg, the Attachment and Trauma Centre for Healing, and is certified as a trauma recovery coach. She is also an alumni of the Humber College School for Writers.Heather is recognized for her ability to communicate the nuanced and diverse experiences of partners within the context of another’s trauma. Her approach is multi-faceted and draws on thought and practices inside and outside the trauma field. As someone with the lived experience of being a partner to an individual with cPTSD, she is committed to the creation of practical strategies to improve the quality of partners’/supporters’ daily lives. In addition to individual coaching, she consults with sexual assault centres, trauma clinicians, and non-profits providing psychoeducation on secondary traumatic stress in partners and what partners/ supporters need to know about trauma. Her work/ideas are regularly referenced and shared on trauma related blogs and websites.WebsiteInstagram @heathertubaFacebook @heathertubaSupport the show

From Shame to Empowerment: Support for Partners of Trauma Survivors with Heather Tuba

Caregivers and supporters of abuse survivors play an integral role in the recovery of the survivor. Having the support, encouragement, inspiration, and validation of someone we trust, means the world for those of us trying to heal from trauma. I'm joined on this podcast by my friend, Heather Tuba. Heather is the spouse of an abuse survivor. She is also a blogger and working to raise awareness and educate the spouses and family members of survivors. In this podcast we talk about PTSD, CPTSD, support your spouse in recovery, and the 7 truths of childhood abuse and how they relate to spouses and family members. I hope this episode resonates with you, and if you would be so kind as to share it with someone who might need it too, that would be amazing.
