In this episode, Melisa discusses the importance of recognizing there isn't a one size fits all approach to therapy and allowing sessions to be client lead. Some of the topics covered were the differences between personality reality vs clinical diagnosis, trauma informed care, contrast of self care vs self love, and other upcoming forms of therapy such as Kettamine and Brain Spotting. We also talked the limbic system's role in relation to trauma and whether it can be released.
