Anything that is unresolved gets resolved.
Can you imagine waking up one day to realize that the source of your lifelong struggles was buried deep in your subconscious? In this heartfelt episode of 'Grief Recovery Now', Charlene Gorzela sits down with Kim O'Hara, a book coach and survivor of sexual abuse, to unravel the layers of trauma that surfaced unexpectedly through a dream. Kim’s journey from a successful movie producer and screenwriter to a candid memoirist is nothing short of remarkable.
Her book, 'Kicking Abuse In The Ass', lays bare the shocking realization of her childhood abuse and its profound impact on her adult life. Charlene and Kim dive into the nitty-gritty of how unresolved trauma can manifest in our bodies, reactions, and even dreams. They discuss practical steps to harness 'happy chemicals' like oxytocin and endorphin, offering listeners a glimpse into the science of healing.

She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging trauma, seeking help, and understanding that recovery is a continuous journey. Whether you're dealing with your own unresolved issues or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and a comforting reminder that healing is always within reach.
