The Healing Trauma Podcast

Emma Stevens is back with us to talk about her second memoir “ A Fire Is Coming.” She is a U.S. domestic adoptee from birth and has survived layers of trauma that have put her on multiple journeys. Her traumas were born from first being relinquished, and then becoming an adoptee to abusive parents. Her developmental trauma increased her vulnerability to fall prey to an exploitative therapist. She has great courage to share and hopes to inform & educate others. You can get her book here. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BT76LPGF?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_P4BKM5GPGVN57PJ9QY77 https://linktr.ee/EmmaStevensWriterIf you're struggling, consider therapy with our paid partner.

Today I’m joined with clinical psychologist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Dr. Susana Kugeares. We talked about somatic experiencing and how trauma patterns develop in the body and why when you are working with trauma and the body it’s important to go slowly with awareness as opposed to wanting to rush through the healing work. You can find Dr. Kugeares on Psychology Today and LinkedIn.https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/susana-kugeares-austin-tx/862681https://www.linkedin.com/in/susana-kugeares-phd-sep-676a1b9/Today’s episode is sponsored by Tyndale House Publishers.

Today's guest is Dr. Tamara McClintock Greenberg. She is a clinical psychologist in private practice in San Francisco and a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California. She is also an author and her latest book is The Complex PTSD Coping Skills Workbook: An Evidence-Based Approach to Manage Fear and Anger, Build Confidence, and Reclaim Your Identity. During the episode, Tamara talks about the importance of having present day coping skills to manage some of the common symptoms of complex PTSD such as anger and fear and how they can show up in present day relationships. She shares why she views Trauma as an "Identity Theft" and talks about the difference between PTSD and Complex PTSD.Tamara's writing has focused on care taking, health psychology, psychodynamic psychology, women’s issues and trauma, with the aim of helping people navigate complex physical and/or psychological issues. Tamara is the author of six books and numerous contributed chapters. She is a champion of combining multiple approaches to treating the nuances and intricacies of psychological problems and has advocated for integration of psychotherapy methods, as dogmatic adherence to just 1-2 approaches can limit the help we can provide to clients.Tamara's books: The Complex PTSD Coping Skills Workbook: An Evidence-Based Approach to Manage Fear and Anger, Build Confidence, and Reclaim Your IdentityTreating Complex Trauma: Combined Theories and Methods.When Someone You Love Has Chronic IllnessTo find out more about her work tamara-greenberg.comSupport the show Buy Me A CoffeeFind a list of my recommended books, trainings + resources for healing trauma journey. https://www.thehealingtraumapodcast.com/resources/Watch this episode on youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJy4f23JvtdFuQGadOqy3PADisclaimer: This episode and website contains affiliate links.
