This episode first starts with Sherry and Carla reflecting on embracing life’s journey without harboring regrets. They discuss how to find value in the ups and downs and recognize the positive outcomes that have emerged from past experiences. They take a Love Fix question about learning during conflict rather than turning away. Then, they are joined by Dr. Christina Reese, a highly experienced licensed clinical counselor who has dedicated the past two decades to helping children and their families affected by trauma. As an internationally recognized trainer, she works extensively with mental health professionals, specializing in trauma-informed schools, classroom mental health, attachment, and trauma in children. Dr. Reese is also the proud owner of Felicity Counseling Services. Her authored books, including "Attachment Puzzle Pieces," "The Attachment Connection," "Trauma and Attachment," and "Leveling Up," showcase her expertise in the field. Driven by her deep passion for attachment theory, she firmly believes in the transformative power it holds for building secure relationships in all areas of life.
