Customer Reviews
So valuable
This podcast has solidified so much of the healing I have been doing. It also constantly brings new concepts to the table, allowing me to consider different ways to heal. I love Andrea and her open heart
Thanks
I have never come across any work or author I resonate with so strongly re. family induced PTSD. The ‘adult child’ concept is a glass of water relief to the get-over-it gaslighting I’ve heard through so much of my life.
My new fave Pod
Such a great, entertaining, informative Podcast that I can absolutely relate to. Thank you for doing this 💜
