In this episode, I interview Whitney Goodman, LMFT, owner of Collaborative Counseling Center in Miami, Florida. Whitney conducts individual and couples therapy for Florida residents, and works often with those of us with chronic illness.

We discuss how the mind and body impact one another, and how chronic illnesses can have a neurological component.

Whitney answers how we can break out of the trauma cycle, why “healed” doesn’t exist, and debunks everything you probably thought you knew about self-care.
