In this conversation, Estefana Johnson and I delve into the complexities of trauma and the innovative therapeutic approach known as Critical Memory Integration (CMI). We discuss the importance of understanding trauma not just as a singular event but as a series of experiences that shape an individual's response to adversity. We talk about the need for a personalized approach to therapy that respects the unique experiences of each individual, allowing for deeper healing and integration of past memories. The conversation also highlights the significance of creating a safe therapeutic space where we can explore feelings and experiences without judgment. Thank you so much to Estefana for sharing her expertise!
