The Traumatic Failures of Others and the Healing Power of Storytelling| Victorious Souls
HAVE THE FAILURES OF OTHERS HELD YOU BACK?
Marcy understands.
Interview with Marcy Pusey – the traumatic failures of others and the healing power of storytelling
As a multiple trauma survivor Marcy took responsibility for the failures of others thinking of herself as the deficit. The people pleaser coping she developed as a child kept her trapped as an adult in an abusive marriage, exacerbated by religious requirements on the mission field. But the day came when Marcy cracked through dissociation and what you’d think would be the end, became the beginning. Marcy has come to see her value simply for who she is and helps others do the same through telling their story. A prolific author, story coach, and Tedx speaker she has many more stories to tell. Did you hear the one about murder?

“Kids Cook Real Food” Interview with Marcy Pusey
The Secret to Making “Talking” an Effective Parenting Strategy (and how story creates resilience safely)
We hear “kids are resilient, they’ll be ok,” a LOT, especially lately.
This conversation with Marcy Pusey, a Certified Trauma & Resilience Practitioner, opened MY eyes to the fact that perhaps…they’re not.
I thought we’d just be talking about the power of story, kind of a cute, sweet idea to share with you that some people might enjoy. Turns out we got to talk about the language behind “online learning” and why it’s totally wrong and harmful, how a global pandemic puts us all into a potential state of trauma, and vital habits every family needs to adopt for good mental health — especially now.
Get your brain ready to be fascinated, and grab some playdough or start chopping veggies while you watch. Marcy and I talk about:
✔️ What resilience really is and why kids don’t have as much as we might think
✔️ What trauma really is and why I’ve been doing myself a disservice by simply assuming anything with that sort of title didn’t apply to me
✔️ How everyone in a family might experience something like a car accident (or a global pandemic) completely differently
✔️ Why our brains process historical fiction and a social studies textbook differently (and which one is more effective)
✔️ Why parents need to filter stories and movies for their kids, both to keep out particular negative influences but also to SEEK certain types of heroes that can give our kids resilience without danger
✔️ The simple fact that our kids borrow from our capacity, which may explain why some days are harder than others for busy parents
✔️ Problems in talk therapy and a better solution (that families can do at home without a professional!)
✔️ Why cooking really is a brain-science based way to connect with your kids better and improve their mental health

“Marcy Pusey, A Best Selling Children’s Book Author” is a guest post I contributed to Wanda’s website for families.
The reality is, good stories come from deep within us. From our own childhoods, the joys and the wounds, the celebrations and sorrows—the moments that made us feel.
These moments, the feeling moments, are where great book ideas come from. Something in nature, or art, or the private-public conversation, the show, or the book, made you feel something. And that stirring grows, and grows, and grows until you birth a book. Read on…
