We so easily compare ourselves to the people around us. While we can admit that comparison is not helpful, it can be especially harmful when we start comparing our trauma because it keeps us from healing. This week\\u2019s episode 235 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about trying to win the \\u2018Trauma Olympics\\u2019: stop comparing your trauma to others!\\xa0

In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I\\u2019m sharing how downplaying your trauma OR putting yourself into a victim mentality by comparing your trauma to others (as better or worse) keeps you from healing and what you can do instead.

Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:

• Coming out of denial to see that I did have trauma - even if it didn\\u2019t look the same as the people around me.
• The difference between \\u201cbig T\\u201d trauma, and \\u201clittle t\\u201d trauma.\\xa0
• Differentiating between PTS, PTSD, and CPTSD.
• Participating in the \\u2018Trauma Olympics\\u2019 keeps us from healing and moving forward.\\xa0

If you must make comparisons, compare yourself to the former you and look to see how far you\\u2019ve come.

Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
