Music, Connection and Community with Tracy Rae Clark

From altered states to embodied presence: Tracy Rae Clark on healing, music, and therapist development. We share stories to inform, inspire, and connect. They also serve as maps, helping people commemorate life experiences that have shaped their journeys. One NARM® practitioner inspires others by putting her stories into poems and lyrics, helping guide others in their own path to healing. Host Emily Ruth welcomes singer-songwriter and long-time NARM practitioner Tracy Rae Clark, LCSW, CPC, for a deeply introspective conversation. The pair explores how trauma, creativity, music, spirituality, and relational healing converged in Tracy's search for genuine connection and well-being.  Transforming Trauma thanks Tracy for sharing her journey. Her honesty and commitment to healing represent what's possible when we stop trying to "fix" ourselves and instead spontaneously move toward connection and health.
