In this episode, we're going to recap this season, which brought several big lessons about dealing with trauma, like how to identify when your trauma is affecting your life, how to know if therapy is right for you (and what questions to ask), and how to be kinder with yourself as you heal. Remember, dealing with your trauma isn't just about healing; it's about living a life that's worth living. We'll be taking a short break, but we'll be back with more episodes soon.
