In this episode, I have a powerful conversation with Aundi Kolber, an author and therapist specializing in trauma. We explore how past experiences shape healing, emphasizing the importance of honoring pain rather than suppressing it.

Aundi shares her personal insights on complex PTSD and the concept of 'trying softer' to foster awareness of emotional needs.

We discuss the neuroscience of trauma, strategies for expanding our window of tolerance, and the role of compassion in healing. Additionally, we touch on Aundi's newest book, Take What You Need. This conversation serves as an invitation to embrace healing and self-discovery.
