In this episode, I was given the opportunity to explore this topic with therapist and author Aundi Kolber. With her deep knowledge in trauma and body-centered therapies, brilliantly combines faith and psychology, providing a fresh lens to view our reactions during challenging discussions.
Having undergone traumatic experiences herself, Kolber's insights come from a place of genuine understanding and empathy.
