Finding Freedom After Trauma with Mudslide Survivor Mary Firestone

In this episode of The HEAL Podcast, I sit down with Mary Firestone, a trauma healing advocate and the author of Trusting the Dawn: How to Choose Freedom + Joy after Trauma. Mary fearlessly opens up about her personal history with trauma and how barely surviving a natural disaster became a pivotal wake-up call to embark on a deep healing journey. Throughout the conversation, Mary candidly shares the transformative power of various healing modalities that played a crucial role in her recovery. From exploring the innovative use of ketamine in a clinical setting to NLP, EMDR, and more, she sheds light on how different modalities offered profound insights and breakthroughs in her healing process. Through her insightful account and authentic revelations, Mary becomes a beacon of hope, guiding listeners to view the traumatic events in their lives not as prisons of suffering, but rather as opportunities and initiations to a greater life experience.
