One of the many consequences of complex trauma is a loss of self-confidence leading to self-doubt and difficulty trusting in one’s intuition.
On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth invites international speaker, author, and resident psychiatrist Dr. Samra Zafar to share her inspirational journey from an isolated teen bride to a courageous, intuitive, and powerful agent of change. The pair explore Samra’s practice of reconnecting to her inner voice and lean into its guidance after years of self-doubt. They also discuss how practitioners can apply their lived experience to therapeutic relationships and invite clients to access reserves of profound healing intuition.
