The Individual Nature of Trauma and How to Heal – Mike Hynes

Not Quite Zen

In this episode, we’re going to talk about trauma. I have with me former psychotherapist and current executive coach Mike Hynes. Mike is the author of “The Myth-Guided Mind: Unleash Your God-Given Genius at Work and at Home,” and he’s going to share about his personal struggle with PTSD, the start and stop nature of healing from trauma, the importance of persistence when building mental resiliency, and what it truly takes to get your head right and live a meaningful life. Check out the link to buy his book below. (I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase).
