In this episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, I sit down with Rachel Buckmaster for an honest conversation about living with PTSD and what healing has actually looked like for her. Rachel was diagnosed with PTSD at 18 and has spent years working through her experiences with therapy, self-awareness, and more recently EMDR. But this conversation isn't about pretending that healing makes everything disappear. We talk about what happens when trauma shows up as perfectionism, overworking, shame, isolation, difficulty slowing down, and that constant feeling that you have something to prove. Rachel also shares one of the biggest lessons she's learned: sometimes being gentler with yourself actually helps you move forward more than constantly pushing yourself to \"do better.\" In this episode, we talk about: • What PTSD can look like beyond the stereotypical flashback • Why trauma can stay with us long after the event is over • Rachel's experience with EMDR • How shame can fuel perfectionism and overworking • Why high-functioning doesn't always mean someone is okay • Learning to identify and name your emotions • The importance of self-compassion in trauma recovery • Why talking about what happened can help break isolation • Learning to become curious instead of judgmental about your reactions • Why healing doesn't have to happen overnight Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that there IS hope. Your childhood and your trauma may have shaped parts of who you became, but they do not have to define the rest of your life. You can understand yourself differently. You can learn new ways of responding. You can reco…","meta_description":"What if healing from trauma isn't about becoming the person you were before it happened, but learning to understand and have compassion for the person you…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1942,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/adult-child-of-dysfunction-6619234/episodes/e-365-you-can-heal-after-trauma-ptsd-self-compassion-finding-yourself-again-with-rachel-buckmaster/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/adult-child-of-dysfunction-6619234/e-365-you-can-heal-after-trauma-ptsd-self-compassion-finding-yourself-again-with-rachel-buckmaster.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
