Are You Wearing Your Trauma Backpack?

This week on The Search For Serotonin podcast, I go deep into my therapy session about the unresolved trauma that I’ve been carrying around. I started my session trying to resolve a minor miscommunication, and somehow ended up being smacked in the face with the root of all of my issues. Join me as I dive into the weight of my trauma, and the fear, anger, guilt, and shame that comes with it. I also share an eye opening conversation that I had with my mom this week about her own trauma, and the one thing that no one, not even trauma, can take away from you. Listen now to hear the details!
