In Episode 2 of the BHPN Podcast Season 2, host Dr. Nik Whyte is joined by Tanasha Wilkinson, registered social worker, trauma therapist, author, and founder of Mastery of Self, to discuss the intersection of trauma care, personal resilience, and healthcare entrepreneurship.
Drawing on her personal experiences as a survivor of sexual abuse, Tanasha reflects on the importance of compassion, trust, and creating a safe environment for human connection. She shares her perspective on supporting individuals who have experienced trauma and shares guidance for healthcare professionals responding to patients who come to them with experiences of abuse.
Tanasha also shares her experience in establishing and growing an independent mental health practice. Tanasha discusses the responsibilities of managing a business, balancing clinical and administrative work, leveraging technology, and developing a strategy for future expansion.
Through the conversation, Tanasha reflects on overcoming personal and professional challenges, breaking generational cycles, and the experiences that inspired her book, Once Broken. She also shares her aspirations to expand her practice, strengthen community engagement, and provide additional support for survivors of domestic violence.
