474: Complex Trauma + Death Of A Parent with Amber Trejo

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week's episode is a new one, reflecting where I'm at in my life right now. My guest is Amber Trejo, an integrative trauma therapist in Indiana.

Like myself, Amber is also a trauma survivor and speaks openly about living and parenting with complex trauma (also known as developmental trauma or CPTSD) on her Instagram channel, @integrativetraumatherapist. Amber and I talked about our shared experience of losing one of our parents in the last year or so, and discussed our personal experiences of navigating the grieving process, with all of the opportunities for healing that it brings.
