Patricia Sherman. Treating Trauma Without Drama Tele-summit.
Today I’m speaking with Dr. Patricia Sherman. Patricia contacted me several weeks ago to invite me to take part in a telesummit she was putting together. She explained that it was going to be specifically geared to trauma therapists, new and experienced alike. I was honored and jumped at the chance to take part!
The list of individuals she’s put together is pretty inspiring, as they cover a wide spectrum of influences and modalities.

Patricia’s Why
I keep doing this work because it’s a way to keep giving back. And it simply brings me joy.
