Description

Even though our traumatic experiences happened a long time ago, their grip on our lives is sometimes still too tight to be ignored. This usually prevents us from accessing joy and hope, making it so much harder to tap into our positive emotions. Timothy J. Hayes sits down with MaryCatherine McDonald, Ph.D., author of The Joy Reset, to discuss how to bring down the barriers hindering us from experiencing genuine joy and profound healing. She explains how to discover happiness even in your lowest points by reframing trauma and recognizing your unique strengths. Dr. MaryCatherine also discusses how hypervigilance results in a false sense of safety and how tiny little joys can help recalibrate our systems.
