Today my guest is Dr. Constance Scharff, Speaker and Author of two books, Ending Addiction for Good, By Richard Taite and Constance Scharff, PhDAnd her most recent: Rock to Recovery: Music as a Catalyst for Human Transformation

There is a trigger warning on this episode for anyone who has experienced incest and sexual abuse. Dr. Scharff shares her story of surviving sexual abuse as a child, how she became addicted to alcohol and her amazing journey of recovery. We talk a lot about different solutions for trauma. She will share a story of how doing somatic trauma work called “Radical Aliveness”, she dropped 75lbs without changing anything! 

 

If you have tried any of these somatic practices to heal trauma, I’d love to hear your experiences. Just message me on the One day at a time facebook page or on Instagram at odaatpodcast. So without further ado, please enjoy this episode with Dr. Constance Scharff.
