Fear can feel paralyzing. Dr. Edith Eger talks about fear and hopelessness in her book, “The Gift,” and today we’re joined by another mental health professional who also has lots of experience working with these common emotions. Is fear learned or can we be born with it? How can hope grow? How do I step out of fear and hopelessness? All these questions might be answered for you in today’s episode. Lesley Stout, a certified mental health counselor, has worked as a crisis therapist, a residential treatment clinical therapist, and is now a private therapist in Farmington, UT. She specializes in trauma and relationship conflict, and says “there is no cookie cutter standard to determine or dictate what is trauma, grief, loss, or a significant disturbance and what is not.” She loves being a mom and aunt.
