Speaker 1:I'm your host, alana, and it's time to connect. I'm joined by my expert guest, dr Natasha Trujillo. I'm joined by my expert guest, dr Natasha Trujillo. Dr Trujillo is a licensed counseling and sports psychologist, educator and author, whose work focuses on grief, trauma and identity development. She earned her doctorate in counseling psychology from Purdue University in 2019 and has extensive experience supporting students, athletes and high achievers through mental health challenges ranging from grief and self-injury to eating disorders. She's here to bring her insights on how to navigate our mental and emotional challenges living with chronic illness. Let's dive in what is a healthy way for those of us who have anger towards our body or towards the trauma that we've experienced because of what's going on in our body? How do we process and cope with that? What are some healthy ways to do that? Because that's a very real thing for a lot of us.
Speaker 2:Yes, it is. Yes, it is Well. And I will also say I don't think we need to give anger a bad rap either. I think that's a very appropriate and adaptive emotion in this situation. Right, you have a chronic illness, you have something that takes you away from something that you really wanted to pursue or shoot, you know you just have a bad day and your plans get changed. It's okay. It's okay to be angry. That is appropriate, that makes sense in that situation.
Speaker 2:I often encourage people to go a little bit deeper too, just in terms of what is underneath some of that anger. The anger iceberg is one of my very favorite things to use in therapy. So, basically, you know, if you picture an iceberg, you have what you see. If you're standing on a boat and you're looking at the tip of the iceberg, that's what you see, and so oftentimes that is anger. In inner society, anger is often a more acceptable emotion than other, than other more vulnerable emotions maybe and so that's the tip, that's what you see. But we know that when you go under the surface and you really look at what's underneath, it's huge, right, yeah, and there's so many emotions in there. So I often ask people what's under the tip of your iceberg.
Speaker 2:And when we think about anger, you know, in this situation you wake up and your all your plans get changed because you just don't feel well. That's sadness, that is great, yeah, that is great. That is loss, that is fear, that is, you know, there's guilt. Possibly, even if it's not appropriate guilt necessarily, you still might feel it because you have to change plans A, b and C. And so I think that's another strategy that I really want people to consider is what is underneath some of that anger? I think some self-reflection too. Are you handling that anger in a way that you feel is adaptive and healthy for you? There's so many different outlets and you know who am I or anyone else to say what's right and what's wrong. But just being able to self-reflect and figure out, you know, am I handling this in a way that works for me? And if I'm not, what do I want to do with that? So I think, being willing to ask yourself hard questions and, if you're recognizing that you need to do some work and figure something out, take those risks.
