| 0:29.1 | hell and back, and now it's my mission in life to help you get to the other side of this process |
| 0:35.1 | with your sanity and your heart intact. |
| 0:45.9 | Hey, everyone. Welcome back. So today's episode is therapy dead? Today's guest, Don Wiggins, and I get to the heart of why |
| 1:01.5 | Don says that therapy isn't always the answer. And instead, how somatic and homeopathic |
| 1:08.1 | techniques help individuals heal from various forms of trauma. Now, since we did this |
| 1:12.6 | episode, I've kind of been working with Dawn on some homeopathic techniques for myself. And I got to |
| 1:20.1 | say, they're kind of working for me. We're going to do a more in-depth circling back on these things later on. But I just wanted to give |

| 2:09.7 | doesn't live in our brains. It lives in our bodies, right? This is why we do EMDR and tapping and all of |
| 2:16.1 | these kinds of modalities and why the somatic techniques are so much more effective. |
