Post Traumatic Growth with Dr. Arielle Schwartz

Carla and Sherry kick off the show sharing their dream places to travel, along with a shout out to all the international listeners. They then take a Love Fix question from someone who is losing their friends and family because they decided to take back a toxic ex, and then they welcome Arielle Schwartz, Ph.D. and licensed clinical psychologist, EMDR therapy consultant, author, and somatic psychotherapist. Arielle talks about her Post Traumatic Growth guidebook and defines what post-traumatic growth is. She talks about how the journey of trauma recovery is an awakening of the spiritual heart, and how trauma can give us an opportunity to grow and become even stronger.    Connect with Us!
