#146: The Power of Guided Journaling with Christine Bergsma

Today we are speaking with Christine Bergsma, Author, and Keynote Speaker.  Christine’s company, Journaling Through continues to set the bar for mental wellness, self-care, and empowerment in the progressive healthcare field. A holistic approach to our workshops, motivational speaking, and guided journals form the cornerstone to synergistically align all the parties involved. ​ Known for her customization, ability to actively engage the audience with practical skills and insights, she masterfully facilitates and delivers information in a way that is understandable, actionable, and uplifting. Christine is recognized as an authority on sustainable self-care methodologies through decades of academic research and in-field experience. Having overcome Complex Post-traumatic-stress-disorder (C-PTSD), her understanding of holistic healing, when faced with a life-altering event, is transformative and empowering.

In this episode, we discuss:

1. Everyone has mental health; it is a part of all of us. We must recognize the impact of our experiences and stories that have impacted and affected our mental health.
2. Recognizing the trauma symptoms, we experience with PTSD and complex PTSD. Our bodies continue to go through physical experiences even though we are not in danger.  Learning the triggers helps us to navigate these symptoms and experiences.
3. Christine shares how journaling became the key to working through the PTSD symptoms. This led to the creation of Journaling Through as she found the power of Guided Journaling and how different this was from regular journaling.
4. Creating change in our life typically requires trying multiple different things such as a different therapist, new habits, and learning to process and let go of the guilt.
5. Understanding that our experiences are not our fault. We can choose how we can respond and what we can do with our lessons.
