S2 Episode 17: A Deeper Understanding of Trauma with Marina Vile, LMHC

Marina Vile is a licensed mental health therapist that specializes in working with trauma and couples. Marina holds a Masters in Clinical Mental Health from East Tennessee State University and she received her bachelors from University of Missouri—St. Louis. Marina believes that navigating trauma is complicated and that navigating trauma, triggers, and the daily stressors of life with a partner is downright difficult. Marina works with individuals and couples navigating trauma because she believes that we all deserve to live lives not defined by the things that’ve happened to us. Marina is such a kind and compassionate soul and she got very vulnerable and shared her story.

Life can be hard at times and if you’re like me, you may tend to think that you can handle it all on your own. Maybe you’ve done such a good job of “managing for so long” having to do something different or talk to someone can feel uncomfortable. The idea of therapy, to me, felt like I had to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I’d be showing the world that I was broken or didn't have it all together… but when my health started to suffer, and I was anxious 24/7… I realized my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I learned that there is no “good health” without mental health. Therapy was the answer for me, it helped me put down all of the heavy things that I was carrying that didn’t belong to me. While therapy can provide so much relief, finding a therapist can feel so daunting.
