Description

I spent thirty years helping people heal their marriages and their lives. And then mine fell apart completely. What I learned in the wreckage changed everything I thought I knew about trauma, relationships, and what healing actually requires. This is The Wounded Healer Podcast. Every season is a focused teaching series on the things that keep people stuck. Marriage. Trauma. Recovery. Faith. The patterns you keep repeating even when you know better. I teach from thirty years of clinical experience and from a life that has been broken open and rebuilt from the ground up. No performance. No toxic positivity. Just the real stuff, from someone who has actually lived it. If you have ever looked at yourself and thought 'I know better than this, why can't I do better than this,' you are in exactly the right place.
