It’s Ok to Not Be Ok with Natasha D’Archangelo

In this episode Kim talks with Natasha, a licensed mental health counselor about how trauma can start in childhood and then play out patterns in our adult lives. Oftentimes our nervous system gets triggered from an event that brings about a response to something that happened in the past. We have a choice to decide whether we want to live our lives from a pattern or live a life. The inner work is not easy but so worth it because there is so much freedom when we heal our traumas.

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom"-Victor Frankl
