Originally Aired: Nov 23 & 24, 2021 *Important Disclaimer at End of Summary* In our interview with Dr. Nicole LePera aka the Holistic Psychologist, Nicole breaks down how to form a healthy, lasting relationship. We go into how your childhood trauma can carry into adulthood and how that can negatively affect your relationships. We also discuss codependency (and how to break free from it) and trauma bonds. Luckily, Nicole teaches us how we can start to reverse these unhealthy habits and shares easy to apply, practical tools that will help you on your healing journey. If you are struggling from any sort of anxiety or depression, or if you are having trouble in your relationships and don’t know why, this is the episode for you. We hope you learn as much as we did.
