80. Surviving and Thriving: Emotional Resilience in Trauma and Hollywood with Janelle Ault
JAN 22, 2025
80. Surviving and Thriving: Emotional Resilience in Trauma and Hollywood with Janelle Ault

In this insightful episode, Janelle Ault, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and actor, shares her expertise on emotional well-being in the wake of trauma and in the entertainment industry. She begins by discussing how processing traumatic events, like wildfires, differs for everyone, emphasizing that emotional responses are non-linear and should be validated without judgment. Janelle also touches on the concept of primary attachment shock—the deep emotional impact of losing a sense of safety—and offers strategies for regaining stability through small, manageable sources of control.

The conversation then shifts to the entertainment industry, where Janelle likens the unpredictable nature of Hollywood to a "shitty dating partner," often destabilizing and difficult to rely on. She highlights the importance of cultivating emotional resilience and setting healthy attachment boundaries to navigate this high-stress environment. Actors and industry professionals can thrive by focusing on emotional skills, self-care, and resilience, especially when dealing with the frequent rejection that comes with the territory.

Janelle also speaks directly to casting professionals, noting how they often find themselves in the role of a grief counselor for actors coping with rejection and emotional challenges. She emphasizes the importance of supporting actors through these experiences, as casting directors play a key part in managing the emotional toll of the industry. Janelle's unique perspective offers valuable insights for anyone in entertainment, helping them move from emotionally surviving to thriving.
