Mike Forrester - Freedom from your Family's Toxic Legacy | CPTSD and Trauma Healing Coach
In this episode, I'm going to have a conversation with Mike Forrester. I met Mike a couple of months ago after being on his podcast. I was so moved and impacted emotionally by his journey that I knew that I wanted him to come on and share his experience with the Unbroken Nation. So many different ways about the way we grew up through tremendous amounts of trauma, but having this massive shift in our lives put us in a position to heal, grow and change, and be of service.
Mike shared with us about his journey to recovering from a tremendous amount of narcissistic abuse from being this borderline; there is a sociopath and learning this process of building resilience through vulnerability and self-love to tap into his full potential. There's a lot of power in this conversation, especially if you're a man or woman right now – struggling. Especially if anyone is struggling right now to move into what's next in your life, maybe you're sabotaging your relationship, your marriage, or hurting your kids, you're still in this place of repeating the generational trauma. I want you to hear Mike today because he will talk about what that journey has been like to move through it and be on the other side. So, listen and find the space to sit with us because it's incredible, and there's a tremendous amount of value that Mike will deliver for us today!
