Trauma is a part of all of us. Sometimes it's trauma we know we carry, other times it's much more subtle, but it's still there.

On my recent quiet drive, I began thinking about how I don't want to lead with the trauma or difficulties of motherhood and I began thinking about all the clients I've had who lead with their trauma and how it holds them back from living to the fullest.

I'm not a trauma expert so I immediately thought about Maggie and asked if I could ask her some questions on the topic cause I wanted to make a podcast episode on it and write an article on it my BRAINZ magazine where I am an Executive Contributor.Maggie said "I'm making eggs for my little one, but definitely call me. I got you" and our conversation was so good I just grabbed it and put it directly into this episode. I hope it serves you.

Margarita C. Lopez, LMHC, CCTP is the founder of National Therapeutic Alliance, and a trauma therapist with a mission to help people learn how to live a fulfilling life post-trauma. Margarita believes in a restorative approach to healing trauma. A combination of mind, body, and soul healing practices. During her 11 years in the field, Margarita has found that taking a slightly more relaxed approach to therapy helps clients feel more comfortable and helps to build rapport. She aims to have her clients feel seen, heard, understood, and most importantly safe. The concept behind her treatment is for clients to achieve a state of “restoration” within themselves and who they are.
