This week on The LDS Mental Health Podcast, we’re tackling a big one: healing past wounds.

As part of my Ask a Therapist series, I’m answering questions submitted by real listeners (just like you) about things we all struggle with like grief after loss, betrayal trauma, and why therapy can feel so hard… even when you know you need it.

Whether you’re in the middle of your own healing journey or supporting someone else through theirs, I hope this episode feels like a deep breath and a comforting reminder: You’re not alone. Healing is possible.
