I recently had the opportunity to guest host an episode of The Trauma Therapist Project, where I sat down with for a rich and nuanced conversation about trauma, healing, and the many ways our stories shape us.
Lauren Auer is a licensed trauma therapist, educator, and founder of the Center for Embodied Healing. She has dedicated her work to making complex trauma concepts more accessible, compassionate, and deeply human. In this conversation, we explored how trauma can shape the nervous system, relationships, identity, and the ways we move through the world.
We discussed why trauma healing is never one size fits all, the importance of individualized and embodied approaches, and how true healing often begins when we move beyond pathology and toward curiosity, compassion, and connection. Lauren shared profound insights on the role of safety, attunement, and relational healing in the therapeutic process.
These are the conversations that continue to inspire my work as a therapist. They remind me that healing happens in relationships, in safety, and in the spaces where people feel fully seen.
I hope this conversation offers insight, validation, and encouragement for both clinicians and anyone on their own healing journey.
