Krista brings humor and lightness to what is a really really deep and traumatic subject, and that's why you're so different as a coach in this area of healing, because there's an element of getting so so stuck and to help with that release in our nervous system and bringing some humor and laughter into all of this as well.

In this episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast', host Caroline Strawson sits down with writer and coach Christa Cusack, who has turned her own struggles into a journey of healing and support for others.
