Episode 251

Hello, friend.

Thank you for being here today.

In this episode of To 50 and Beyond, I'm honored to share my guest, Dr. Constance Scharff.

Today, Dr. Scharff shares her personal story of recovering from the trauma of being sexually abused by her father and her addiction to alcohol. Dr. Scharff breaks down the meaning of trauma, addiction, and recovery, how trauma affects our body, and the importance of feeling our feelings in recovery.

Dr. Scharff has a Ph.D. in Transformative Studies, specializing in radically transformative personal experience. She is a full-time author and speaker, traveling globally to help people overcome trauma and addiction. Her life's work is to help people heal from addiction and trauma, as she has done so that each of us can live lives of meaning and purpose.

Dr. Scharff's lived experiences, vulnerability, and expertise are what you will hear today. I'm glad you're here. Let's get started.
