How to Get to the Other Side of Trauma Using the S.T.E.P. System Trauma leaves deep emotional and psychological scars that can affect how we perceive and interact with the world. Therefore, learning how to get to the other side better, healthier, and more fulfilled is always necessary. Have you ever heard of the S.T.EP system that can help with that? Nick Prefontaine, who joins us in this episode, is the brains behind the system. “S” stands for Support. This means you need to have the support of your family and friends and those influences around you. “T” stands for Trust. You have to trust that once you take your first step, your next step will be available to you as long as you trust and follow it. Trust also includes that voice at the back of your head. “E” stands for Energy. You must make sure that you maintain your energy. That is going to allow you to get better and naturally heal. “P” stands for persistence. Once you have gotten up to your first step, keep getting up every day and taking your next step, no matter how small. This makes you build an unstoppable momentum.
