Gabby Bernstein on Happy Days: Healing from Trauma, Shame, and Sabotage

Dr. Stephanie interviews Gabrielle Bernstein about her new book
Happy Days: The Guided Path from Trauma to Profound Freedom and
Inner Peace. In this episode, Gabby discusses the inspiration for
her new book, her own personal traumas, losses, shame, and how
she navigated through these challenges. They deconstruct the
different types of trauma, how we can begin to bear witness to
that trauma, and how we can begin to heal. You’ll learn why we
often disconnect from the Self and develop protection mechanisms
after experiencing trauma and shame. They discuss how to
cultivate self-compassion as well as some actionable therapeutics
that can help you in your recovery. Warning: this episode
includes discussion of sexual abuse.
