S2: E5 - Dr. Cindy L. Byler - "Let's Talk About Trauma"


Listen Later

Today's episode is the beginning of a series that has become very important to me, because, at the age of 52, I cannot say that I know much about the clinical term "Trauma".  I want and need to change this, because, if I want to understand and improve my life, and, if I want to help my friends, family and those God brings into my life, I need to listen and learn so that I might understand.
I began to ask questions of experts in the field of psychology regarding trauma, and it was important to me that I begin this series with a psychologist who knows me best - my friend, Dr. Cindy Byler, because I know her personal journey with traumatic events in her own life, which she will share a little about in this episode.  I feel "at home" with Cindy, and I believe that feeling safe is very important when you are sharing your inner struggles with someone.
