Rewiring your family-based trauma - Podcast with Dr Marion Piper

I was THRILLED to be invited by Dr Marion Piper a few weeks ago, genius in the land of all things creativity and growth, to be on her podcast ‘What Doesn’t Kill You’ - Focussed on what DOESN’T kill us and how it can actually make us stronger in this big, wild, confusing life.

We chat:

• What family-based trauma actually is, how to navigate it and actually GROW into the fulfilling life you have always dreamed up

• The power of hobbies and passions OUTSIDE of work

• Why we develop coping mechanisms for issues in relationships, anxiety, depression, as a result of trauma

• How to do “the work” in healing - what is essential for your safety and self care

We even share some of our personal vulnerabilities in our family-based issues, because we are real people not just researching this stuff - but walking the talk every day.

Listen to all of our juicy conversation (and receive a little bit of free therapy) below!

Hey, i’m Ellie - i’m a clinical counsellor and psychotherapist with a fire in my belly to shake up mental health.

I’m Australian born n bred and currently living, loving and working on the unceded lands of the Lekwungen People in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. 

Out of my own frustrations from working in and researching youth mental health across the past decade seeing clients with anxiety, depression, relationship issues and feeling lost in who they are, I created Cocoon Mental Health, providing sessions, workshops and content for those of us who want to move on from our family issues and thrive in this big, sometimes confusing life.

Cocoon uses a chilled-out, creative approach to therapy (no boring, clinical b.s here!) with the belief that you can do and be all the things you want to - because you’ve always deserved more.
