Stephana Johnson is an award winning transformational speaker, mentor and author who has made it her life’s work to empower leaders and groundbreakers to shine bright for others to follow. As a result of her personal sexual trauma and abuse, she lived in shame, fear and confusion until she was able to transform those scars into what she calls 'sacred wounds'. Stephana is the author of "Peace Doesn't Come In A Pill” and "Finding Joy Beyond Trauma" After counseling and coaching others for over 20 years, she says that she’s discovered our greatest wounds lead to our soul's perfection. As a direct result of working with Stephana, clients overcome fear, self-doubt, lifelong struggles with weight (both physical and emotional) and set aside other self-limiting beliefs that used to stand in the way of them stepping into their full potential.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-trauma-therapist-podcast-with-guy-macpherson-phd-inspiring-interviews-with-thought-leaders-in-the-field-of-trauma/exclusive-contentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.

So many of my guests on The Trauma Therapist | Podcast have said, in one way or another, that It's Not What You Know. It's Who You Are.   I love that! It inspires me!   And I think it's taken me some time to truly live that and to own that.   I'm planning a live, online, 10-Day training/workshop/experience for new trauma therapists called The Heart-Centered Therapist.   Learn more here: http://bit.ly/2tvQrhv   This is also for anyone in the helping professions: therapists, social workers, counselors, coaches etc.   The Heart-Centered Therapist, live, 10-Day training/workshop is about uncovering and honoring the unique and incredible person that you are, and learning to bring that to the work you do.   Who you are--your story, your experiences, and the degree to which you either shove them down and run from them, or own and honor them, impacts and influences your work with those who've been impacted by trauma.   Join me for a 10-Day, online training/workshop/experience over Zoom video.   Date: Monday, March 4 thru 8 and then Monday, March 11 thru 15. 11 am PST   Learn more here: http://bit.ly/2tvQrhv Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-trauma-therapist-podcast-with-guy-macpherson-phd-inspiring-interviews-with-thought-leaders-in-the-field-of-trauma/exclusive-contentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.
