Redeeming Heartache with Dr. Dan allender & Cathy Loerzel

Experiencing complex trauma inevitably brings on deep pain and heartache on so many levels. So many experiences without support or even someone to help us work through it. We end up being the ones that make meaning out of our deepest childhood trauma's. We start to see ourselves with contempt and see ourselves as somehow defective . This conversation will help you understand what "story work' is and how it can be a deeply impactful mode of healing trauma. It was an absolute pleasure to be joined by psychologist Dr. Dan Allender and therapist Cathy Loerzel for an incredible conversation about the journey of healing Trauma.
