Traumas of every shape and size influence our daily behaviors, choices, and beliefs. As parents and partners, we might want a different choice than reacting to all of life based on these trauma-influenced beliefs. We might also like our children to have an opportunity to inherit different beliefs. Healing our traumas is paramount to experiencing less reactivity, calmness, and freedom.
Our guest, Amanda Gilchrist, shares how we can begin to heal traumas with effective therapies such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
