Powerhouse Lawyers

Hey powerhouse, put on your seat belts because we’re diving deep this week! Ever heard of big “T” and little “t” trauma? [00:40] Our guest Amy Van Slambrook–psychotherapist, strategist, and transformational coach walks us through exactly what this buzzword means. Amy supports high profile and even higher achieving clients with their healing journey. Ultimately aiding in their success. [03:10] But, how do you know if you've experienced trauma at all? Most of us may say we’re fine. We had a couple of speed bumps, but we’re fine now. [10:50] For powerhouse lawyers like us, the rejection in the office is an example of trauma. It’s not just your feelings being hurt, not you needing to work harder… We underestimate the stripping of our being when it comes to fitting into the world of law. It even starts in grad school. [17:17] So, how do we start to heal and who is this inner child, exactly? [23:20] Here are a few questions Amy suggests using to check-in with yourself [30:09] and she offers some starter resources. [40:18] Last but not least, the infamous Legally Blonde Moment! This one if for the braces wearers AND the tea lovers. [43:26] Closing [47:10]
