Overcome Trauma With Mindfulness With Special Guest: Marta McLean LMFT

One Conversation Podcast

In this episode we are joined by special guest, Marta McLean, to have a deep conversation on how we can deal with trauma. Marta has been providing therapy services at Live Violence Free for 10 years, and specializes in trauma therapy. We define triggers before she shares a plethora of techniques that can be used when someone is triggered. We end with a special breathing technique for our meditation, that can be used to help ground and center you either during or after a trigger.
