Treating Trauma Podcast

On the final episode of our Stories of Healing series, Christopher and Nicole sit down with Milestones alum Brooke Scherer to further examine the effects of trauma on her life and the profound healing she experienced during her time at Milestones. While knee deep in what she describes as “the darkest years of her life,” Brooke decided to pursue healing at Milestones after gentle encouragement from her husband (and fellow Milestones alum) Jordan. Upon witnessing the major shift in him, she became hopeful that real healing was possible for her too. We close out this episode by welcoming Jordan back to illuminate the beautiful unfolding of Brooke’s “new enlightenment” and the newfound intimacy of their deepened connection.

What is Treating Trauma Podcast?

We all have moments where life is hard, yet some of us have had to endure more than our fair share of pain, hardship, struggle, and trauma. Through in-depth interviews with our clinicians and trauma experts, this limited series explores how unresolved experiences from our past can interfere with the demands of our present, impact our relationships, and hold us back from the future we want to live.

If you or someone you love is struggling with behaviors associated with unaddressed trauma, Treating Trauma offers a unique look at how various healing methods and trauma treatments can offer a path toward recovery, growth, and wholeness.
