Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together

Joe Bakhmoutski

When you have a difficult story in life, it is so hard to bring it out into the open and “deal with it”… Sometimes you don’t even realise just how much it’s been affecting you in your day to day – or so has it been for me. And so I am trying to make sense of it all, and in this podcast, I want to share some of the vital things that I’m learning on this journey towards healing and hope. You are not alone, my friend! I’m here for you, and you – you deserve to be happy, and let’s figure things out

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

2024/03/17

We all want to be more resilient don't we, but how? Let’s start with one definition of what resilience that you might not have come across earlier:Resilience is accepting the inevitable challenges of life as situations that you can successfully cope with. That’s right, my friend - it does not mean you must crush this challenge by the power of your indomitable will!! Nor does it imply we put up with suffering daily. It is believing you can cope with the challenges that you’re facing today. It need

#140 – Four Reasons We Stop Asking For Help

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

2024/03/09

The person that helps you the most is person that you almost missed, or got through by chance.Isn’t it true? It’s the circumstance brings you together. How many times do we suffer in silence, and nobody knows how you suffer, the pain that you’re holding inside? In working with trauma survivors, I noticed that the first barrier to asking for help isn’t even the asking, but rather it’s seeing the truth for yourself: Here’s what I’m facing, and I don’t deserve to go through it alone.

2024/03/03

Past holds the pain, and it often gets triggered by smallest of things:Old photo, a song, throwaway comment, and then you find yourself small, stuck in the sorrow you don’t want to feel… When the wave of past hurt, or upset, or regret, when it that it washing you over, there comes a decisive moment: You either get dragged into the feeling, or - pull yourself away, away, and back to the moment you’re in, whatever is happening NOW. I often say that the road to your peace of mind now lies through

2024/02/24

There are two sides of the human condition, and we’re facing them daily - it’s the misery of hurt and delight of the present, it’s the joy, and the feeling alive.But the trouble of living with trauma is more often than not, we are not getting either - we’re stuck in between. How’s that better than misery? Feeling hurt is a negative feeling, but at least you can feel: It’s a heavy burden, but it brings about facing your truth, and forces a change because change never comes on its own. Change can

Inside every mistake, there are opposite forces - one that pulls you towards something, one that’s pushing away. Which one is right? Are you heading towards it, are you moving away? Therein, the choice: Depending on the situation, you might need to pull forward, or push away, and it is when we don’t tend to the true instinct of which one is right is when we make a mistake. This might be choice about the situation that you find yourself in: For me, this was in my first long term relationship when I

2024/02/10

If you ask me what is the greatest way to prevent you from getting hurt, I’d stuffing it so far and so deep no one will ever find it. Including yourself. Trouble is, it doesn’t go away, does it? We just stop FEELING IT, but it’s wriggling inside of you, buried within. It’s been so many years that I took my early hurt, hurt going through rape as a child, and I sent it away into hiding. All the ways I could keep it at bay - never speak of it even a word, beat the image back soon as they start to

Greatest gift that you can be giving yourself is seeing your self as you are - the wounds, imperfections, the questions and doubts… Because when you see your true face, your true colors, not as you want to be held in the mind of another, but in life that you own, you will find greater beauty than any could ever imagine. I have a dream of a global community that is founded on healing together. It’s a bold vision, and as it’s taking shape in my mind after my own experience of being on a healing

The moments that we are most ashamed of are things that we could not control. So isn’t time we live in our truth - we’ve nothing to hide from, atone for, take back. Yes, the struggle defined us, and we hold our heads high! You are who you are, my friend. In the sorrows and hopes that we share, we chart forward the path - TO FREEDOM! To keep moving from shame and the traumas we suffered, we will not walk away, and keep moving… It is our turn to heal, but it’s also a choice: Because healing is always

#133 – Your Relationship With Anger

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

2024/01/18

Growing up, I saw that anger was bad. Angry people lashed out, they hurt others, they weren’t happy themselves. So I never got angry, and I kept it inside of myself, and there it kept boiling, and boiling away… But it never came out, and it stayed inside, eating away at me, making me anxious, and wound up. Looking back on it, every time that I could not breathe, every time I felt like my insides could burst from the tension, it’s been anger: Anger stayed there, and could not get out. When I am

2024/01/13

Who are we - without trust? Just people with nothing in common. But you build the trust, it’s out in the open - the groundwork for love, recognition, respect. What’s more - you could not start healing without it. If you can’t trust your therapist, a fellow survivor, then can you be open to the possibility of healing, of lasting and positive change? It’s, as I say - TRUST IS A MUST. But how do we build it - up? We live in our language, and it’s no wonder we talk about ‘building’ trust… Because

2024/01/05

Do you know what people think when they look at you? Isn’t it fascinating when you think about what kind of impact you make without even thinking about it… There’s an immediate impression that people are getting, whether you want to or not. I always wanted for people to like me, or maybe not like - accept who I am. The more that I tried, the less I think happened, because there’s an edge, just something that isn’t authentic that people can feel. I look on it now, it was valid - a way for me

Every time I speak to someone who’s been through cancer, I can’t help but ask: The people in your life - how did they support you? The reason is some of my close friends went missing when I went through treatment, and I kept asking myself: Is this my fault? Am I the only one who gets to go through it? The truth, as always, is simple and outrageous. It’s one of my early episodes of Simplify Cancer podcast, before Zoom took over our lives and I’d meet guests in person. Today, we’re in the

Dear friend, if you’re getting hit hard by the struggle, you might ask yourself: Why, why should life be this hard? One thing I’m finding helpful is zoom out of the moment, this day to day life, and consider this life as a whole: As I began to consider the past, from the very beginning, I began to pick out the turning points, the impact they had, impact I never noticed… And so often you don’t because you, you just get on with life, and the moments that matter, that hurt you, that made you look

When you’re caught in the struggle, then how hard it is to imagine that things could be different? When I was alone, and I could not have sex with a woman I wanted to be with, it’s been nigh on impossible even consider that I could feel wanted, I could be cherished, and be in the presence of love and desire. But there was a seed - a dream, a hint, hope on a wing… It’s been a long road to dreaming, dreaming of freedom: What is it like? What would life look like, each day? How would it feel, on

Tell me - are you the person who follows their own intuition, or likes to think everything through? Most of us fall somewhere in between, but being on my journey to healing from trauma has changed me in ways that I could not expect. The big step that I taken last year was starting my therapy. It’s helped me put some of my hurtful memories in a place where they are just that - memories, and not a living and breathing horrors that take over senses and making me numb. Therapy has also helped me to

Look, maybe we don’t have the power to change things, but suppose we could, and you go back in time: Do you know the moment you’d come back, and change? I once had an affair with a married woman. I had never once questioned her, and she kept it a secret, but a friend of mine knew. So I met with this friend, and the way that he’d spoken has struck me like dagger. A casual, throw away word, but it hurt me, disparaging as it was towards her. Tell me - what would you do? We are always confronted

There’s a part in each of us that’s so fragile, so hurt by the past that we’re wanting to hide it, protect it - from what? When I look back on the years of shame, pain, and the guilt that I carried of being raped as a child, the one thing I been scared of the most is admitting the truth to myself: Yes, it did happen, and it’s part of who I am Knowing this truth does not make me feel damaged, but places the past in the past, something that’s happened that does not direct my visions and feelings

What’s the biggest compliment anyone has ever given you? Maybe it’s taken taken you by surprise, made you feel special? My wife served me with the biggest compliment of my life when she said: You are the bravest person I know. It stirred something, deep down inside me, and it’s new because I never thought of myself as brave. In fact, and this may sound weird, but I never thought of myself as anything, I simply got by. You do enough to survive, to get through, keep out of their way. Only the

I have an emerging medical situation re: possible cancer. I’m hopeful, but - I’ve been down that road before. My instant reaction is daze - the mind goes all soggy, it’s dragging me into the mist… I just want to hide behind Netflix, the phone, stop thinking, let go of the wheel. But then I catch myself - it’s a signal, a sign to be paying attention, to focus, switch on. This time, I want to charge, keep hopeful, and lead. It’s part of our lives - the triggers we know, those tiny reminders that
