Healing through Comedy with Kelly

Kelly Wilson is a certified trauma recovery coach, and a survivor of childhood sexual abuse who has channeled her experiences in trauma recover via the comedy modality. Not the usual way, but an effective and accessible way. A former elementary school teacher, Kelly was beloved for her deadpan sarcasm, which led her to pursue standup comedy, quit her job, and navigate a three year long identity crisis. Kelly started the PTSD Parent podcast for parents dealing with trauma, and currently offers trauma remediation to lessen triggers, grief recovery, and healing through humor as part of her work in trauma recovery coaching on MapYourHealing.com HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE: How Kelly used comedy to cope Teaching and being a comedian Kelly and the PTSD Parent Podcast Advice from Kelly TUNE IN TO HEAR: ● 0:25: Guest introduction ● 1:08: Origin Story ● 3:38: Identity Crisis at 40 ● 6:00: Combining mental health speaking and comedy ● 8:22: Humor as a survival mechanism ● 11:28: PTSD Parent Podcast ● 14:03: One piece of advice for parents dealing with trauma ● 19:54: Kelly’s work and getting in touch ● 22:07: Grief recovery ● 26:31: Thank you #healinglaughter #humour #PTSDparenting #sexualabuse #teaching #triggers #relationships #couples #healingfromcomplextrauma
