Trauma
Welcome to Ask Me Almost Anything, an event where you can ask our guest psychologist almost anything about a topic. Send us your questions, and Rashida will answer them live on the 22nd of November.
Experiencing, witnessing or hearing about a traumatic event is overwhelming – it can bring up many emotions.
If you've been through a distressing event and haven't felt quite like yourself since this discussion might be a helpful way to make sense of your experience and find ways to heal.
In the meantime, we have a great article explaining trauma and tips for coping. I recommend giving it a read, especially if you've been through a distressing event in your life.
Talking about trauma is hard, but you might've noticed that it's being discussed more often – on social media and in society generally. It's a conversation that can bring up questions, memories and feelings that are difficult to make sense of on your own.
So, we're here to create a safe space for you to explore any questions you may have about trauma with our guest psychologist, Rashida.
Here's a little bit about Rashida
Rashida is a Registered Psychologist in Sydney; Working in Private Practice and feeling honoured to work with the clients she does. With a special interest working with identity, culture and purpose.
A life-long love affair with wanting to understand people, their lives, experiences and worlds, and how it all intertwines and shows up in the way we behave led her down a path of travelling and living all over the world whilst studying Psychology. Passionate about advocating for destigmatizing mental illness and creating a more holistic approach to mental well-being.
Also a lover of nature, art, music, chai and sleep - all the great things in life
🛀 Remember to take care of yourself when reflecting on trauma. Self-care is different for everyone, so think about which activities help you unwind and destress.
⏰ It might be that you don't join this discussion, or perhaps you'd like to submit a question and revisit the conversation when you're up to it.
📖 We'll be sharing trauma-specific support services on the night for anyone who needs to unpack their experience of trauma with a psychologist or counsellor.
