#237 Is a Hyper-focus on Trauma Actually Hurting Us?  with Maria Baer

A new study demonstrates that contrary to popular opinion, endless personal trauma-mining is actually destructive to our mental health. In our therapeutic age, everything is pathologized, from shoplifting to drug use to having a bad day. Maria Baer joins the podcast to talk about an article she wrote for World, titled “Make Resilience Cool Again.” Maria shares about our culture’s obsession with trauma care, and how we might actually be getting it wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Use the code, ALISA, to get 10% off any product.www.sevenweekscoffee.comGOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat Delivered Use the code, ALISA, to get your FREE 10lb Easter Ham!Go to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.SUMMIT MINISTRIESGive your teens an unshakeable faith that will last a lifetime.Use the code, ALISA24 for a 200.00 discount.www.summit.org/alisa--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order “Another Gospel”: www.alisachilders.com/anothergospelTo order “Live Your Truth": www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comFor all links to Alisa’s recommended reading, visit the Alisa Childers Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/alisachildersTo see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachildersPotential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.
