Most therapy teaches you to cope with the storm.

Here, we look at why your nervous system learned to predict storms in the first place. Here you will find resources on relational trauma, memory reconsolidation, and the science of deep change—for couples and individuals ready to stop repeating what doesn't get resolved.

John Bradshaw, author of "Healing the Shame That Binds You" and "Homecoming: Championing the Child Within," was a senior fellow at The Meadows and worked alongside Pia Mellody. Though he passed away before I had the opportunity to work with him directly, his writings and teachings remain my most prominent influence. I have read all of his books and studied his work extensively, and highly recommend his work if you want to go deeper.
