Inner Source - Healing from Toxic AbuseAuthor: Deborah
Join Deborah Ashway, LCMHCS, LCAS, in 'Healing From Toxic Abuse' as we unravel trauma, recovery, and resilience. Some abuse is hidden and undetected. Many people find themselves struggling with symptoms such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, confusion, and apathy, to name a few. So many times these symptoms can be traced back to toxic abuse. No matter where it comes from, when boundaries are systematically violated in any way, the result almost always includes these symptoms. My goal is to shed light on the erosive behaviors and help you heal. www.InnerSourceTherapy.com Language: en Genres: Health & Fitness, Mental Health Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it Trailer: |
