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

#132 – On Building Trust

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

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

#131 – Your Story of Truth

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

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

2023/12/22

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

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

2023/12/14

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

2023/11/28

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

2023/11/24

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

2023/11/15

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

We all have a story that truly defines you, but - how do you know what is it? The moment when story of our life starts truly take shape is the moment you're starting to heal. Because healing is gateway to living a greater, more joyful and meaningful life. Healing is what we do in moving away from the suffering, away from the struggle, the troubles we know... And yet, we are making a choice to heal. This is what defines you - your story, your life, and where you are going. And my guest today,

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

2023/10/25

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

2023/10/18

Like many, I first learned about trauma from Besser van der Kolk’s “The Body Keeps the Score” book. I was driving from work, and listening to the first chapter where Bessel gets a gift from the army vets as if to say: now you’re one of us. As I listen, the tears swell up, and I’m sobbing. And I can’t stop because inside, a new understanding is born: now I am one of us, those who know what it is like to suffer. But the gift of this book, of course, isn’t the trauma, but belief you can heal. This

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

2023/10/10

The most difficult, painful moments that have impact on our lives have this one thing in common: The mind wants to drift further away from the memory, from the event, so as not to even recall it. We can’t bear to think, feel - it is stuck in our body, some place in between. Neither here nor there. It’s how I think of the most challenging times in my life when the impact of past and the struggle was strongest… I felt stuck in between of the past, present, future, I could not dare move, decide,

#119 – Trauma Sensitive Yoga with Clare Pritchard

2023/10/04

One barrier that prevents us from doing therapy is we don’t have the language we need to be talking of trauma. It’s why a body based approach is so vital - reconnect with our senses, and feel. Yoga helps us connect with our bodies, but there are deeper needs that us trauma survivors can often require - a more gentle pathway without focus on form, or on doing things right. Here is where trauma sensitive yoga comes in - and this conversation with Clare Pritchard has transformed the way that I think

This morning, as I am jogging through bush, I’m feeling my muscles grow tense. The breathing is shallow, arms flail around useless, like sticks… I know that I’m tired, and I want to stop, keep walking instead, you know, take it easy. And hey, what’s the harm? It’s almost 5km, and no one can see me. And yet, I remember: SURVIVOR I am a survivor. I suffered, I held back, I failed, and almost gave up. But I will no more. Not even today!

It's hard to put trauma into words. That's why therapies like EMDR, trauma informed yoga, and neurofeedback can be so powerful in helping us heal. But having a calming presence around you can also be ever so helpful - precisely the reason why equine therapy is so intriguing!

I feel the reason that we don’t talk about our pain and internal strife is we believe that we’re broken. We don’t believe we can heal. Whether it’s breakup, or grief, or abuse, it’s hard to imagine that things could be changed. For me, it’s going through rape as a child. I lived in denial of how it’s been messing me up, and thought I’d be making things worse if truth had somehow came out. And I felt alone, that nobody gets it, that shame and the hurt I am destined to carry, forever, until… The

The moment I heard about parts of you living inside, and that they must get along like a family, it rang out as loud as the truth. Of course - we must help them, bring out the parts that were hurt, so they’re starting to heal. But that’s not easy to do on your own, and to have a specialist guide taking you through this can make all the difference… This is where Internal Family Systems therapy comes in: It’s a complete approach to help people healing from trauma, and this week I’m talking to Sean

The last few years of living inside a pandemic have caught us off balance - the everyday life turned itself inside out, we struggled to make sense, connect, to belong. But this profound sense of disorientation hasn’t it always been found its way into the fabric of our being when living with trauma? It sometimes can feel as if everyone’s off on a cruise while you’re struggling to keep it afloat in the never ending storm of living each day. You know what it’s like - and truth is that despite the

What is life without a moment of true connection - when you’re feeling the joy, the fun, and sharing of something unique, and yet simple, together. This might be a moment you share with a friend, child, your lover: You don’t have to think, and just live it - what a relief! But there are moments when things go the opposite way… You cannot get through to your child, friend, or lover: They might be upset, angry, they’ve got their walls up… They don’t want to talk, they don’t want listen, they
