This week is a serious, but important podcast. We dig deep into the topic of trauma and abuse.

One thing that can keep people from creating the future they want is unresolved abuse from the past. This episode could be the first step to help you move forward. Connie Lawrence is a clinical social worker with a certification in psychodrama with the American Board of Examiners. She's the founder of the Cleveland Psychodrama Institute and Developer of Recovery in Motion, an experiential therapy program that uses music, theatre games, and community-building activities to treat traumatized and addicted populations. Connie served as a trauma therapist at the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center. She's currently working as a coach, offering training and coaching to therapists, who want to enlighten their practice through the use of psychodrama and expressive art. Topics discussed in this interview include:How can unhealed trauma and abuse keep you from stepping fully into your life's purpose.The difference between guilt and shame.Why the trauma we've endured is actually less important than what happens after the trauma.How to move from being a victim to a survivor to a change maker.The importance of finding a community when it comes to healing.How you can find the help you need to move forward in your life.
