Hello Adult Children,

Today I welcomed back one of my most requested guests Phyllis Leavitt to unpack the potential danger when our inner childhood wounds, abuse & trauma remain buried and unhealed and how the toxic after effects of being raised in an abusive and dysfunctional home may and often do negatively affect all of us on in our adult relationships and why every one of us benefits from therapy.

Phyllis & I discussed the importance of mental health globally and systemically as a solution to live peacefully and non-violently so every one of us can be safe by embodying conscious awareness, kindness, compassion & one day end the war with ourselves and each other.

Phyllis is a psychotherapist who has treated children, families, couples, and individual adults for 34 years, specializing with abuse and dysfunctional family dynamics, their aftermath, and some of the most important elements for healing.

She's published three books, A Light in the Darkness, Into the Fire & her latest. book, America in Therapy: A New Approach to Hope and Healing for a Nation in Crisis. She lives with her husband in Taos, NM and is now retired from her psychotherapy practice focusing on writing and speaking.
