Welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite! I’ve been wanting to dedicate an entire episode on healing and overcoming trauma for a long time. This was a huge challenge for me due to my own person experiences. If this episode helps you change a single aspect of how you navigate your own healing journey I would love to hear about it. Together, we will cover key chapters from the book “The Body keeps The Score” by Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk.
