When it comes to trauma healing, we often search for special techniques or magic solutions, but we overlook one of the most fundamental and powerful healing experiences available: the simple act of having an fruitful, loving and effective conversation.

This isn’t just about venting or casual conversation. It’s about learning to process through pain with loving, understanding, and empowering listeners.
