Podcast 417: How to redefine the role that trauma plays in your life

Download my new and improved brain detox app here: https://neurocycle.app

SHOW DESCRIPTION: In this podcast I talk to top podcast host and author Michael Anthony about healing childhood trauma, the power of identity, why we should do something different everyday, the power of helping others, and so much more. Unfortunately, as Michael notes, childhood abuse is prevalent in America and around the world. It is one of the biggest elephants in the room when it comes to mental health. As uncomfortable as it is to face, childhood trauma is something we need to talk about more, and on a much deeper level.
