Treating Trauma S2 E2 - "Stories of Healing" with Shawnna

One of the most challenging barriers to overcome when contemplating attending Milestones is the priorities and responsibilities people leave at home. When you have people depending on you, it can feel selfish to walk away from your life for 30-90 days to focus on yourself and your healing.
