Episode 414 - Healing Trauma Through Guided Imagery with Dr. Chris Cortman
This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.
We explore the human experience of trauma, healing, and the power of guided imagery in creating profound transformation. Through shared reflections and heartfelt stories, we can open ourselves to the possibility of peace after hardship and challenges.
We consider how our minds digest unfinished emotions, the subtle ways past pain keeps resurfacing, and the importance of acceptance in finding release. We are invited to wonder about the nature of grief, the courage it takes to face what hurts, and the surprising strength that comes from reframing our own stories.
DR. CHRIS CORTMAN
Dr. Christopher Cortman has facilitated over 80,000 hours of psychotherapy during his distinguished career spanning forty years. A Florida Licensed Psychologist, he maintains a thriving private practice while specializing in emotional trauma and anxiety disorders.
He’s appeared nationwide on talk radio and television. The acclaimed author of five previous books, his new book, The Guided Imagery Cure: The Best Proven Methods for Quickly Resolving and Healing Trauma, describes a profoundly impactful tool for addressing trauma, grief, and more.
