As the spread of coronavirus threatens our physical health, it is also becoming a real threat to our mental health. But, talk therapy may not be enough to address the fear and anxiety many of us are experiencing.
If you keep talking about your traumatic past, you will never have any self-confidence. Why? Whatever we continually focus on, through our words and thoughts, creates our reality. So how do we heal from our emotional trauma and how do we recognize the signs of healing? What about the influence of our toxic friends? Ilene Smith, the author of Moving Beyond Trauma, joins me to discuss these very issues.
