A thoughtful journey exploring our pain and looking for ways to heal. It's not just the trauma experiences that hurt us but the negative messages they leave, that we are not good enough, we don't do enough and/or we don't feels safe. Healing occurs when we start to realize, "we are good enough", "we do enough", and "it's ok to feel safe when we are safe".In this series of podcasts, I'll use kindness, compassion and curiosity to explore our pain and suggest various ways to bring healing to yourself and those around you.

How can we build safe connections with others when we often don't even have a safe connection with ourselves? In this episode, I interview a client, Camilla (pseudonym) who has disassociative identity disorder (meaning s

Most of us think of self-care as things we do for ourselves to make ourselves feel better and/or just disconnect from the stress of day to day life. In this Interview with Lee McMichael, Lee gives some insights on self-c
