Treating Trauma Podcast: Recent Episodes
Onsite Workshops
We all have moments where life is hard, yet some of us have had to endure more than our fair share of pain, hardship, struggle, and trauma. Through in-depth interviews with our clinicians and trauma experts, this limited series explores how unresolved experiences from our past can interfere with the demands of our present, impact our relationships, and hold us back from the future we want to live.
If you or someone you love is struggling with behaviors associated with unaddressed trauma, Treating Trauma offers a unique look at how various healing methods and trauma treatments can offer a path toward recovery, growth, and wholeness.
On our final episode of this installation of our limited series, Christopher and Mickenzie sit down with therapist Tara Booker to explore how we can lean into a recovery lifestyle and pursue a healing journey.
