The Bradley Hall Show

June is NPE Awareness Month!  My guest Kerry Levisky shares her shocking discovery after taking an at home DNA test. Here her remarkable story of discovering her family secret, finding her new family, and her journey of self healing. Learn how to navigate and heal from your NPE experience at https://thebradleyhall.com/owning-my-npe-experience/ Be sure to sign up there for our FREE NPE Resource Kit!

In May, which is Mental Health Awareness Month, Paulette joined the show to speak about the overwhelming number of people that are battling mental health issues and how people like her and I are able to help guide those people back in the right direction.

June is NPE (Not Parent Expected) Awareness Month so it only felt right to release the second half of our conversation at the beginning of June. We discuss the effects of being an NPE and how that coincides with mental health issues but as 2 people who have lived through that experience, we offer guidance for anyone that may be having a difficult time handling the new reality placed before them.

If there are any questions, feel free to leave a comment and I will do my best to see and hear what you have to say.

Part 2 of 2

Before becoming a Certified #Trauma #Recovery #Coach, Paul Christino had a long stint in the entertainment industry getting his first break with a recurring role on the hit TV show E.R. in the late nineties.  However, like many trauma survivors, his purpose in life was not clear to him as a young man.  All of his time, energy and emotional resources were put towards just surviving.  After years of sifting through his own experiences Paul began to understand that in order for him to truly heal, he must reach out to others like him and walk shoulder to shoulder with them as they move through their healing journey.  Paul continued his studies and has now opened his Trauma Recovery Coaching practice holding sessions in his Manhattan office and online.
