Trauma and Recovery: A Healing Journey |Dr. Jamie Marich
Dr. Jamie Marich talks with Traci about her own experiences with addiction, trauma, and her very "ahead of her time" therapist who was trauma informed before that was even a thing.
Learn about when traditional modes of therapy are not helpful, sometimes even harmful, at healing trauma. Dr. Marich has several books on Trauma and the 12 Steps that you can use at home to accompany you on your journey of trauma recovery.
Jamie is not just an expert, she has lived this stuff. She gets it. We hope you enjoy her as much as we did.
Dr. Jamie Marich describes herself as a facilitator of transformative experiences. A clinical trauma specialist, expressive artist, writer, yogini, performer, short filmmaker, Reiki master, and recovery advocate, she unites all of these elements in her mission to inspire healing in others. She began her career as a humanitarian aid worker in Bosnia-Hercegovina from 2000-2003, primarily teaching English and music while freelancing with other projects. Jamie travels internationally teaching on topics related to trauma, EMDR therapy, expressive arts, mindfulness, and yoga, while maintaining a private practice in her home base of Warren, OH. Jamie is the author of seven books on trauma recovery and healing, with many more projects in the works.
