Ep16. Squashing Fear & Reclaiming Life for Neurodivergent Individuals | An Interview w/ Arolyn Burns

Описание: In this video, I interview Arolyn Burns, Director of The "A" Treatment Center in Pasadena, CA, and Corona Del Mar, CA. Arolyn is an expert who specializes in anxiety, phobias, trauma, and chronic pain. We unpack what trauma is and how anxiety and fear suppress living our best lives. We also discuss how neurodivergent individuals may suffer from more trauma than we think and how she positively supports the neurodiverse community with all of her wonderful tools (hypnotherapy, EMDR, etc...).
