**Trigger Warning**

On this episode I discuss childhood trauma, assault and the process of healing that has spanned over 25 years. Trauma in any form can be painful and I am aware that we are all on different paths of healing and growth. The idea to test my healing by putting myself in environments that directly correlated with my childhood trauma proved to be more detrimental than I anticipated but the growth and perspective I have been able to take away are very much worth sharing. I hope you choose to join me on the couch and explore how moving past trauma doesn't come with a gold ribbon or concrete validation you've done it. Sometimes just appreciating who you have become is proof enough. Saved you a seat, see you on the couch!
