Memoir Series: Growing Pains 3 - A New Medical Diagnosis (Launch Your Life Podcast Episode 164)

On today’s episode of the Launch Your Life Podcast, I share how I developed a deep love of travel, a childhood illness, more stories of the House of Many Horrors, a recurring night terror, and much more. True growth is uncovering the beliefs and stories you created as a child to make sense of perceived or real trauma. It can be tedious, painful, and meticulous work.    But bringing your rational, adult mind to the stories you create in your childhood is freeing.   What’s Discussed in This Episode: 00:00 Intro 01:55 Wanderlust as a child  03:12 Alcoholic mother 04:12 A new diagnosis 05:36 One of my fondest childhood memories 06:16 Getting my ears pierced  06:42 Medical trauma  08:10 Visiting my cousins  10:05 Using my adult brain to make sense of abuse  10:35 Night terror   Resources: Check my latest podcast or listen to the previous ones (https://www.launchyourlifepodcast.com)  Connect with me on Instagram (@doctormichellegordon) Follow me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/drmgordon) Check out my LinkedIn posts (https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmichellegordon)   For more podcast episodes, you may also visit my website.
