On today's episode, Sarah sits down with her own therapist to ask her about a powerful practice that leads to growth a flourishing- the practice of holding space for pain. Dana Gillispie has been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for 23 years and is certified in Internal Family Systems therapy- a cutting-edge treatment for trauma, that offers a helpful way to understand and work with the complexities of the psyche. Dana talks about the power of holding space for intense emotional and physical pain without having the need to fix it, change it, or make it go away. Dana describes how this practice allows for healing to occur and inner wisdom to emerge naturally. She also shares some of her own experiences with pain, holding a spacious place for others pain, and the way this leads to inner transformation. Sarah and Dana discuss ancestral trauma and epigenetics- the way we can each inherit the unresolved traumas of our ancestors-  and practical ways to build sacred, safe spaces in your home.

Dana is licensed in both North Carolina and Texas. For more information, contact her here:
