In this episode, we sit down with Lauren Auer, a dedicated healer whose journey began in the criminal justice field, working with juvenile offenders and their families. Her work extended to counseling survivors of sexual abuse and assault at a rape crisis center, where she gained firsthand experience with vicarious trauma. Lauren’s insights reveal the profound layers of trauma and the need for providers to prioritize self-care and nervous system regulation.
Now in private practice, Lauren specializes in EMDR, Brainspotting, and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, helping clients navigate their healing journeys. Join us as we explore her crash course in trauma, the lessons she’s learned about resilience, and how she’s reshaping the conversation around self-care for providers.
Topics Covered:
- Lauren’s transition from criminal justice to counseling.
- Insights into trauma at different stages and instances.
- The impact of vicarious trauma on providers.
- Finding your self-care with the goal of balancing the central nervous system.
