Why? Why so much learning and work?Well, because after decades of her own life saving, nurturing therapy, Michelle still struggled with strong eating disorder behaviors, regular bouts of depression, mood shifts, anxiety, and overwhelm. These challenging experiences were interspersed during a time when she was also succeeding, building healthy relationships, learning, and creating. Michelle was happier and healthier than ever but was STILL living with a lot of challenging experiences.Michelle is now dedicated to discovering, understanding, and teaching others the way our nervous system and brain-body development contributes to our moods, behaviors, relationships, mental health, and productivity.In This EpisodeMichelle’s website----What’s new with The Trauma Therapist Project!The Trauma 5: gold nuggets from my 700+ interviewsThe Trauma Therapist Newsletter: a monthly resource of information and inspiration dedicated to trauma therapists.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.
