The experience of trauma can damage your mind and your emotional wellbeing, if left unchecked. In this episode, we invite Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Melissa Dumaz to share some effective and tangible ways to address trauma in a safe and healthy manner. Ms. Dumaz emphasizes the importance of asking for help right away. Many have turned to social media platforms, such as Clubhouse to ask for help, to vent or to simply dump their trauma on others. Ms. Dumaz explains how this practice may not always serve as a safe path to healing.

This Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, best selling author, and podcaster specializes in guiding clients through the complexities of overcoming trauma, grief & loss, improve their relationship satisfaction, and supportive therapy for moms in all stages of motherhood.
