Heal First Then Pick Your Life Partner: Help With Healing CPTSD
Dr. Tanner Wallace | CPTSD, IFS, Marriage & DivorceYou're living a life full of ordinary moments — planning birthday parties, loading the dishwasher, answering emails — that nobody warned you would feel like this.

- Incredibly Impactful!
This was my first time listening to the CPTSD Medicine Podcast. My friend sent it to me because I am starting to suspect my career choice is one big trauma response. I love how Dr. Tanner says you can both recognize your trauma patterns and pull through threads of your true self in your work and calling. Thank you Dr. Tanner, amazing and beautiful wisdom!
