Listeners will learn about effective trauma recovery therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Dr. Ransom emphasizes the significance of building a strong support network, practicing mindfulness and meditation, and incorporating holistic approaches such as acupuncture and art therapy.
Dr. Ransom shares practical exercises, including a guided somatic exercise, to help release stored tension and trauma from the body. She also highlights the importance of self-compassion and gratitude in the healing process.
Through the inspiring story of her client Sarah, Dr. Ransom illustrates the transformative power of addressing trauma in overcoming addiction. She encourages listeners to be patient, take accountability, and remain committed to their recovery journey.
