Mary Firestone is on a mission to let others know there is light on the other side of the darkness of PTSD. Her book, Trusting the Dawn, is the story of triumphant transformation through healing, inspired by her experience of surviving the tragic Montecito mudslide, which washed away her home and more than a hundred others.  After graduating from Princeton and working in Julia Robert's production office, Mary earned a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, igniting her passion for alternative medicine, energy healing, Reiki, yoga, acupuncture, and flower remedies.  In this episode, we discuss: Mary's experience of surviving a mudslide caused by 200 million gallons of rainfall in 15 minutes The mind, heart, and body relationship as related to trauma How trauma changes us How to identify where trauma is stored in your body Modalities for releasing trauma Vedic meditation Ketamine therapy with Dr. Jeff Becker What the majority of people get wrong about trauma and healing  How journaling and breathwork can help jump-start healing How retreat travel facilitates a new approach to self-care Why traveling this way has been so profound in both my and Mary's life Get Mary's book Trusting the Dawn: How to Choose Freedom and Joy After Trauma wherever books are sold Learn more about Mary and get additional resources on our podcast blog.
