A Deep Dive into Trauma, with Dr. Johanna O’Flaherty – Part 1

In this episode of Sex, Love, and Addiction, Dr. Rob welcomes Dr. Johanna O’Flaherty to the show. Dr. Rob and Dr. O’Flaherty explore trauma – what it is, how it comes about, and what you can do about it. They consider the wounded healer, the importance of integrating all lived experiences to become whole again, and the role of self-forgiveness in overcoming trauma. Dr. O’Flaherty is passionate about helping individuals heal from incident trauma, ancestral trauma, prolonged trauma, and more, and she cautions listeners against marginalizing the damaging effects of true trauma in favor of everyday difficult life experiences.
