Become The Wolf Of Your Own Story: Stop Explaining Your Behaviour + Instead Take Radical Responsibility For It with Genea Barnes

Anyone who has experienced trauma in their life will tell you that it’s not necessarily the trauma itself that’s the hardest to overcome- but what comes next. Suddenly you’re not just trying to heal something that’s happened but learning how to live despite it.

Because what happens when you have a nervous system that’s programmed for danger even when the ‘problem’ is gone? What happens when you have a body that now has a default setting of pain, fear and angst?  How do you move forward when you’re constantly waiting for something to go wrong?

In today’s Fridays with Friends feature, Genea Barnes helps us to answer these exact questions and more. She takes us back to the beginning of her journey (before she became a sought-after trauma coach), when she held the hand of a dying junkie at the age of four.

This moment, like so many in her childhood, deeply wired her body to expect pain and hardship- and she shares with us how she spent years of her life chasing fleeting feelings of peace, love and freedom; something she could taste but never quite hold.

It wasn’t until she realized that she had to take radical responsibility for her life and her trauma that everything changed. She describes how she had to acknowledge parts of herself she didn’t want to see in order to truly heal- like her tendencies to manipulate, mirror harm and take from people.

This ‘shame’ (deeply woven into the shadow parts of her being), was keeping her stuck in a cycle of self-victimization- and once she finally accepted it, only then was she able to create the life that she had been dreaming about for years.

If you’re ready to stop using your trauma as an excuse for the behaviours or patterns in your life and instead take radical responsibility for the direction your life is headed… then this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

Let’s dive in, shall we?
