Episode 49: Do you have PTSD from past trauma? Sharing my own experiences from a collapsed lung (Spontaneous Pneumothorax) & dealing with PTSD from narcissistic ex & childhood trauma

<p>* TRIGGER WARNING / GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF SURGERY *</p> <p>I wanted to talk to you about PTSD – as something has been coming back to me in flashbacks at the gym – It was of the day when I was younger and ended up on hospital with my first collapsed lung – my first of 8 from the ages of 15 - 31</p> <p>Something I didn’t realise I had until someone brought it to my attention.</p> <p>At the age of 15, I was going about my normal day, when all of a sudden, I started to get a pain in my right side, all the way down my back. I remember vividly where I was (Morrisons Car park) about to go with my dad to do the weekly shop.</p> <p>I didn’t think too much of it and just carried on with my day, then later on that evening I was sick quite a few times from the pain. I put it down to a sickness bug and spent a couple of days in bed over the weekend.</p> <p>When it came to the Monday morning, I could no longer lie on my right side as it was too painful.</p> <p>Little did I know at the time, but my lung had collapsed on that Friday in Morrisons car park.</p> <p>The book I mention is&nbsp;</p> <p>Bessel Van Der Kolk - The Body keeps the score</p> <p>To find out which what you need to do to get through your break up, take the break up quiz here:</p> <p>https://n9vttm5rm9j.typeform.com/to/G8gQx6Jl&nbsp;</p> <p>The Narcissist Checklist:&nbsp;</p> <p>https://theempoweredcollective.thinkific.com/courses/narcissist-checklist</p> <p>To learn about all of my courses: www.empoweredwithnatasha.com</p> <p>Book in your free discovery call;</p> <p>https://calendly.com/natasha-190/15min</p> <p>The Break Up Sessions - your 3 x 90 minute sessions going over past, present and future.</p> <p>https://theempoweredcollective.thinkific.com/courses/the-break-up-sessions</p> <p>To get more info on the breakthrough program, click here - NEXT COHORT LAUNCHES 1ST OCTOBER - 2 SPACES REMAIN</p> <p>https://theempoweredcollective.thinkific.com/courses/the-breakthrough-program&nbsp;</p> <p>Releasing the cords from your ex and letting go -</p> <p>https://th
