Ep. 45 - How Do We Heal?

A few years ago, I read a book about emotional intimacy. One part of the author’s story has stuck with me ever since and it was this idea about trauma and how we can allow it to be the guiding force in our lives. It was then that I realized how oftentimes, my 13-year-old traumatized self was making every major life decision for my 25-year-old self.    How unfair for 13-year-old, Jonathan to be placed in a position to try and figure out roommate situations, find a good job, and be a good partner when all he really wanted was to trust that he was going to be safe.   Life is a journey, and as we grow older we learn to live with the trauma. However, I hope that we learn to process that trauma and heal.   This week, I am joined by Nia Ridgel, Licensed Clinical Therapist and Life Coach, founder, and owner of Ridgle Consulting to explore our journeys with trauma, what holistic health and healing can look like, and how to protect your peace, energy & everything in between.
