Dawn interviews a fascinating Spiritual Clinical Psychologist based in Los Angeles  who has written a book called “Lesbian Love Addiction, Understanding the Urge to Merge” that has a 5 star rating on Amazon!  She co-hosts a podcast called “The Consciousness Salon” and she and her wife, Vanessa just launched awakentherapycenter.com which was a dream for them both to open their own therapy center.  With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Lauren’s philosophy stems from the understanding that mind, body and spirit are interconnected.  

In this podcast, we talk about her journey back from addiction. Her life changing moment that caused her to understand that her “calling” to help others heal holistically was a spiritual one.  Her “second coming out” was indeed to be referred to as a “Spiritual Clinical Psychologist”.  Unscripted and unintentionally in this podcast, some very personal content was revealed involving childhood secrets for both Dawn and Dr. Lauren.  In the event that you have personally experienced abuse or know of someone who has, it is important to realize that this podcast may trigger memories and reactions.  If needed, please take a break, speak to an understanding loved one, or reach out to a clinician.
