Dr Heidi knows it can feel extreme to ask for help, at least it did for her. As one who has been where you are now, perhaps one of her service offerings would feel less extreme, and would be totally confidential. Let her experience be your secret weapon. In this episode of "Fake and Tired," Dr. Heidi engages in a heartfelt conversation with her client Christine, who shares her transformative journey through the Freedom Me program. The discussion revolves around the emotional toll of toxic relationships and the importance of self-awareness and healing.
