			<description><![CDATA[In Episode 2 of the <strong>Diary of My Trauma Podcast</strong>, Precious Ndlovu delves into the concept of trauma, emphasising that it is subjective and can be triggered by events perceived as terrible by the individual. She highlights that trauma can stem from small, seemingly insignificant events, not just major ones like abuse. Trauma impacts relationships, mental health, and the development of poor coping mechanisms, such as substance abuse. Precious shares her personal journey of overcoming trauma through self-reflection, challenging negative thoughts, and journaling. She offers free sessions for the first five listeners and encourages self-relationship and self-healing as a foundation for better relationships and overall well-being.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
