16. Beyond Productivity: Seeking Self-Worth in All Aspects of Life

Good Enough with the Trauma Therapist

Welcome to another episode of the 'Good Enough With the Trauma Therapist' Podcast! This time, host Jamie delves deep into the complex correlation between productivity, self-worth, and feeling 'good enough'. In a candid discussion, Jamie explores why some of us tend to find comfort and control in the predictability of our workplaces, while our homes may bring a sense of chaos and failure.

We examine why therapy often sees people trying to equate their self-worth with productivity and other's happiness. Jamie shares her insights on how work provides more apparent paths for external validation and the fulfilling of our inner need to feel 'valuable'.

With provocative self-reflection prompts like "How do I feel at work versus at home?" and "Do I set better boundaries at work than I do at home?," Jamie nudges listeners to deeply introspect and understand the root causes of these contrasting feelings.

Most importantly, she emphasizes that workplace strengths – like clear communication, problem-solving, dependability, creativity, and knowing the expectations – are completely transferrable and adaptable to personal life.

In this episode, Jamie introduces us to the magic of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) – a brain-based therapeutic practice that fortifies our self-belief, helps us view challenges as opportunities, not threats, and thus enhances our ability to adapt in all aspects of life.

Join us in this powerful journey to discover the transferrable skills and inner strength that can aid us in creating fulfilling, valuable lives beyond work. Dive into a process that enables you to be 'good enough' at work, home, and beyond. Because at the end of the day, your worth extends far beyond your productivity.
