The Role of Peer Support in Professional Spaces w/ Jade Miller | Your Trauma Wise Career Guide Ep 39

Ever wondered what makes peer support different from therapy—and why it matters for your career? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Jade Miller, a peer support worker specializing in dissociative experiences, to explore how peer relationships create unique healing spaces that traditional approaches often miss. Jade shares why the power dynamics in peer support matter so deeply for trauma survivors, how to start building authentic professional connections when you're barely making it through your workday, and the real truth about "bringing your whole self to work" (spoiler: they don't actually mean that). We dig into practical wisdom about: Understanding the difference between peer support and therapy Navigating authenticity versus professional polish in the workplace Building trust gradually when your nervous system is dysregulated Creating safe community connections without adding more demands to your energy The power of accompaniment in healing and professional growth This isn't your typical networking advice. This is about finding people who understand the intersection of healing and career development—and learning to trust your gut about who deserves to hear your story. Whether you're in early-stage healing and struggling to get through each workday, or you're ready to expand your professional network authentically, this episode offers guidance on building connections that actually support your growth rather than draining your precious energy.
