Welcome to Madang.
Madang is the outdoor living room of the world. Here, we invite you to sit and tune into unreserved, remarkable conversations with renowned authors, leaders, public figures, and scholars on religion, culture, and everything in between.
This is the 49th episode, featuring Amanda Ann Gregory, LCPC, who is a trauma psychotherapist renowned for her work in complex trauma recovery. With a keen focus on the specific needs of trauma survivors, Gregory's expertise spans over 20 years in clinical practice. She has been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, National Geographic, and Newsweek and published in Writer’s Digest, Psychotherapy Networker, CounselingToday, and Psychology Today.
Today, I am thrilled to have Gregory on the Madang podcast to share about her book, You Don’t Need to Forgive: Trauma Recovery on Your Own Terms (Broadleaf Books). We discuss forgiveness, trauma, the mind-body connection, racial justice, gender justice, and much more.
