Outgrowing Survival Mode: The Real Work of Trauma Recovery
Hannah Guy sits down with Meg Kub, LPC of Wellness with Meg to chat about what healing really looks like. From outgrowing your survival self to learning to trust yourself again, they talk about the twists and turns of trauma recovery. Healing isn’t neat or linear — it’s layered, sometimes slow, but always worth it.
