In this interview, I’m joined by Dr Bonnie Badenoch.
Bonnie is an author, therapist, mentor, and the co-founder of the nonprofit agency: Nurturing the Heart with the Brain in Mind.
In a lively and wide ranging conversation, we explore:
— How we’re organised to be protected until the possibility of healing arrives
— Inner community - what it is, how it forms, and why it’s vital to understand when we’re discussing attachment
— How our image of God influences our attachment patterns and overall psychological wellbeing
— How Bonnie’s “radical inclusiveness” approach can help us heal attachment wounds
And more.
If you’re interested in a deeper dive, I highly recommend picking up a copy of Bonnie’s book: The Heart of Trauma, and you can learn more about her work by going to https://nurturingtheheart.com.
