Show Notes

In this powerful and vulnerable episode, I'm joined by Demaree, a nurse who shares her deeply personal healing journey.

Although she believes she had been infected for years, it was a traumatic car accident that ultimately caused her symptoms to surface.

We then take a deeper dive into the role of trauma in chronic illness.  Demaree shares how blocked and unresolved trauma, dating back to her childhood can live in the body and impact recovery.  She opens up about the many layers of healing, reminding us that true healing is not one-dimensional, but more like peeling back the layers of an onion.

Together, we discuss the many layers of recovery and why addressing more than just the physical symptoms matter.

As a special bonus toward the end of the episode, Demaree's husband, Mike joins us to offer heartfelt insight and encouragemnt from the spouse's side of the healing journey. 

Whether you're on the journey yourself or supporting a loved one, this episode is raw, honest and filled with hope.
