❤️‍🩹 What Kind Of 'Entraumaneur' Are You?

Hey

Two things I am most passionate about.

1. Trauma recovery
2. Self actualisation

Without the first, the second cannot occur.

Recovery from trauma is often confusing, it certainly has been for me. I didn’t know how much trauma I was actually harbouring until I:

🍾 Stopped drinking
🏃🏻‍♀️ Stopped escaping
☕️ Stopped caffeine
🙅🏻‍♀️ Stopped avoiding

❤️‍🩹 And started taking care of myself.

I began to really allow myself to be with the unfiltered version of me.
 
I am so passionate about trauma recovery because it leads to self actualisation. We simply cannot self actualise without it.

I see two types of entrepreneurs out there. I call them “en’trauma’neurs” because they harbour pain and that pain has been used as fuel for a lot of their lives.

One typically leans toward the coach/mentor archetype and the other toward the business owner archetype.

1. This ‘entraumaneur’ strong armed their way to material success ignoring their soul cries. The sheer brute force of their goals outweighed what they were feeling in any given moment. I liken this to a survival of the ‘fittest’ mentality, David Goggin’s style.

Once they got the material success they realised that in order to really self actualise, the trauma recovery and acknowledgement must begin. It was never about the material and it was always about connection, safety and freedom, this realisation comes later but the former experience had to occur.


2. This ‘entraumaneur’ is the all in 24/7 ‘healer’ that often can’t discern between the action that needs to be taken and the healing that is required. This archetype falls victim to perfectionism, self pity, avoidance and can’t ‘rally’ to get anything done. They’re forever searching for another modality to be their ‘rescuer’. They delay taking action, often for a long time because they’re ‘not feeling it’, not realising that messy action creates momentum and self trust, not the other way around. They discover they can’t heal their way into taking action and realise the most ‘healing’ thing to do is take the action on their heart.

Both ‘archetypes’ are operating from wounding. The simplest and most overlooked solution is support. Support helps both move into states of greater self actualisation and contentedness.

Support is love.

‘Entraumaneurs’ start businesses and strive for success because they’re driven by the ‘lack’ of love. As soon as they experience the supporting force of love, the need to strong arm or avoid subsides.

With this support, entrepreneurs are miracle workers, their genius is brought to the forefront and they’re able to actualise the potential they always had within them.

The first entrepreneur can settle into greater peace and grace by letting themselves off the hook, allowing their humanness to shine through and to really rest, that which they’ve ignored for so long.

The second entrepreneur can settle into taking action, trusting themselves and knowing that there is no such thing as a wrong decision, what’s of utmost importance is that a decision is made.

In essence;

The first entrepreneur acts too fast and lives too urgently.

The second entrepreneur analyses too much and lives too avoidantly.

When support and connection is experienced for both, they rebalance into healing and self actualisation.

Which one is your default? 👩🏻‍💻
