Living in a world knowing the real threat of a global virus that has claimed thousands of lives is horrifying. The amount and the sheer number of people suffering from trauma because of the effects of the pandemic has been alarming and is still on the rise to this day.

With this threat in our midst, the issue of racism and oppression going around for hundreds of years have added more and more people to suffer under trauma causing severe attachment injuries. Is there hope that we, as providers, can help provide solutions for these ongoing chain of problems? How can we help our clients who are suffering from this cope and how does that affect a couple’s relationship struggling with trauma?

In today’s episode, we are truly honored to be joined by an influential researcher, an established expert in the field of Adult Attachment Theory and Models, trauma resolution, and integrative healing techniques, Dr. Diane Poole Heller. We’ll be heading deep into conversation around the negative impacts that attachment injuries bring and why it goes hand in hand with trauma, and a whole lot more.
