This, in turn, can affect how we ourselves function as adults—soon, a very toxic, generational cycle of trauma can be set up! In this podcast I speak to holistic psychologist Dr. Nicole LePera about healing childhood trauma, ending codependency, and overcoming toxic habits and behaviors. She also shares some great tools to help you break free from destructive behaviors to reclaim and recreate your life.  Read the show blog here:https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/identifying-healing-childhood-trauma-how-to-break-up-with-codependency-destructive-habits Get Dr. Nicole's new book here: https://yourholisticpsychologist.com/book/ OFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS: -Munk Pack: Get 20% off your first purchase with the code DRLEAF at checkout: https://munkpack.com. -Ritual: Get 10% off your first three months of Ritual multivitamins see: ritual/drleaf -Honey: Get Honey today for FREE at joinhoney.com/DRLEAF.
