Burnout, Second-Hand Trauma, and Self-Care with Fausta Luchini

Welcome to the Authentic Dad Podcast!  I'm David Waranch and I coach dads on having a greater impact in the world, living on their own terms, and flourishing in their relationships.

Today, I'm joined by Fausta Luchini.  Fausta is a Trauma Sensitive Consultant and Coach, bringing over 20 years experience as a licensed therapist to her work. As a therapist, she worked primarily with people who experienced lots of trauma in childhood, or ACESs, Adverse Childhood Events.

She learned ways to help her clients work through the lingering impact of trauma on their lives and her clients helped her understand their pathways to healing. It took a panic attack in the park for Fausta to become aware of the impact her work had on her. It led her on a journey to find ways to manage the second-hand trauma she was experiencing. The skills and tools she discovered allowed her to work with her clients without losing her self and her joy in the world. Now she coaches compassionate professionals, helping them work through the same challenges she had faced. 

In 2017, Fausta moved to Savannah, Georgia, following her dream to live near the ocean. She lives in a multi-generational household with her partner, Dennis, her daughter, and two grandchildren. She enjoys playing with the grandkids, walking alone on the beach in the early morning, and looks forward to dining out with her daughter and traveling with her partner again someday.

If you're a dad who needs support in your relationships and are looking to make a greater impact in the world, I would love to hear from you.
