The first of a two-part series, Dr. Sara Taylor describes the work she does today as a therapeutic life coach and shamanic practitioner as well as the ways her academic career was shaped by early trauma. While not conscious of it at the time, with a lot of work, she came to put together her larger life puzzle and understand the bigger picture about why she chose academia and why she eventually left (in addition to many other life pieces). She explains that academia was a perfect container for her trauma and makes a convincing case for all of us to do the deep inner work required to release trauma, arguing that it affects every aspect of our lives.
