Shahar is a psychotherapist who has a rich history of working with addictions and trauma recovery. In this interview, Shahar shares everything from life breaking you open, early developmental trauma and his relationship to spirituality.

We start this conversation with Shahar sharing what he is reflecting on at this stage of his life. We then cover some aspects of how early development can shape us and then we touch on his history and current relationship to spirituality. He beautifully shares how a certain amount of reflection on our early lives and possible trauma history may need to be lovingly attended to for a time in our life in order to heal. Most often through some form of support, group work, a deep intimate friend or therapy. 

Shahar also uses a metaphor of over training certain parts of our body and under training other parts as a way to explain how over training in either spirituality or just the physical can be a contributor to a fragmented self. Equal "Leg Days" and "Upper Body Days" help a more balanced and integrated Self.
