How do you heal trauma while building meaningful relationships? In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Mechelle Wingle, a heart-centered therapist and founding partner of The Wholeness Network. Mechelle opens up about her journey through marriage, healing, and self-discovery, and we talk about the impact of childhood emotional neglect and complex PTSD on relationships.
We dive into the importance of processing trauma and how open communication can transform connections with those closest to us. Mechelle also shares how heart-centered therapy and the internal family systems (IFS) approach have helped her and countless others uncover their authentic selves. It’s all about learning to balance personal healing while being present for the people we love.
