Charity Lynch - Therapist at Havenwood Academy

In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, therapist Charity Lynch shares how her own childhood trauma - and later, her son’s struggles - shaped her path toward becoming the calm in the storm for teens at Havenwood.From breaking down trauma responses in a way kids can finally understand, to helping students regulate with equine therapy, to bringing Bruce Perry’s Six Rs to life across campus, Charity offers an inside look at what real healing looks like day-to-day.She also opens up about the emotional reality of the work: the breakthroughs, the setbacks, the laughter, the rituals that keep her grounded, and the incredible joy of seeing students who once felt hopeless step into college, careers, and lives they never thought possible.Whether you work in behavioral health, education, or simply care about healing relationships, this conversation will inspire you and stay with you.
