We are recasting this episode this summer because we think it's that good. So check it out! Carma Roetcisoender is a licensed mental health counselor whose primary focus and passion has been in helping survivors of sex trafficking find new hope and life through individual and group therapy. She loves helping vulnerable children and adults who have experienced poverty, homelessness, sexual and physical violence, and trauma as well as helping people with life transitions, grief and loss, and career changes. Talk about an amazing counselor. In this episode, Carma talks about the complexities of trauma, and reminds us that healing is possible.

As promised, here are the resources we mentioned in the podcast. We hope you love them as much as we do.
