No matter how big or small your trauma is, trauma affects us all, and I believe we should all be going to therapy!

In today’s episode, I chat about the resistance people face when it comes to seeking therapy and how to overcome this resistance.

I wanted to address the common misconceptions and anxieties that stop so many of us from taking this crucial step toward healing.
