You Need Therapy

This week Kat (@kat.defatta) has two more therapists, Hannah Owens & Tara Booker (@pearlsofrecovery), on the show. Kat met both Tara and Hannah years ago while working at a trauma focussed treatment center. Together they tackle many of the basic ins and outs of trauma. In this episode, you will learn more about the difference between big t and little t trauma, why trauma is stored in your body, and the impact group therapy can have on your healing process. And as always, remember this podcast is not therapy. However, it is a great resource and tool that may help you find your way on your own healing journey.Learn more about YNT at Youneedtherapypodcast.com & @youneedtherapypodcast.Learn more about Pearls of Recovery HERE or by e-mailing pearlsofrecovery@gmail.com.This podcast is edited by Houston Tilley :) Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
