Ep. 79 Rae "Adoptee Reclaimed" & 5 Tips For a Better Life
Episode description
Hi again! The idea of adoptees reclaiming themselves have perplexed certain people for awhile now. If you aren’t adopted or haven’t had an in-depth conversation with someone who is adopted you might wonder “What do they need to reclaim?” Today’s guest is Rae from Adoptee Reclaimed.
Rae is trauma-informed and versed in child development, brain-body integration, and addiction and abuse recovery coaching. Rae borrows somatic methods and Internal Family Systems which she customizes for adoptees. I stumbled across Rae from her Poetry contest.
We discuss:
- Using our voice in a Poetic form
- Why I’ve named the podcast “When they were young”
- The silent assignment of adoptees
- Recognition of before the fog
- History of adoption with native Americans
- Reunion Support
- How we can best receive joy
- And 5 tips for quality of life (The 3rd tip will change the course of how you approach dating)
