Psychologist, Peter A Levine points out that ” trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence”. In today’s conversation with my guest, Louise Liebenberg, we look at ways to identify how unresolved traumas may be adversely impacting our lives, and discuss strategies to help deal with such traumas. Louise Liebenberg, is an international bestselling author, transformational coach and counsellor, who specializes in Adult Child Syndrome, Self Esteem Development and Transforming Unresolved Grief.  I first met Louise when she invited me to participate in an online summit on Trauma to Triumph: The  stories of recovery from traumas, became chapters in the book, “From Trauma to Triumph.” Louise is an experienced Group Facilitator and best selling author of “Hamster Wheel Relationships for Women. A Step by Step Process to Transform Unfulfilling Relationship Patterns”, accompanied by Stepping Off – The Hamster Wheel Workbook. Louise offers one-on-one sessions, Online Courses, group work or retreats. We discuss the experiences that led Louise to her work on adult child syndrome and identifying unresolved traumas.

Dr. Gillian Lockitch is an international speaker, author of Growing Older, Living Younger: The Science of Aging Gracefully and The Art of Retiring Comfortably, and host of the Growing Older, Living Younger Podcast. As a dual-certified Specialist in Paediatrics and Medical Biochemistry and Professor at the University of British Columbia, her professional career was rooted in science. During her rehabilitation from life-saving emergency spinal surgery, her passion to be able to dance again led her to explore the intersection of medical and epigenetic science with non-Western healing traditions, to understand how to change aging at the cellular level. Within the Growing Older, Living Younger Project, the Change Your Aging Masterplan cycle is a year-long 3 part coaching program to preserve mind and brain, build your best body, and to survive and thrive in your environment. At 70 Dr. Lockitch became a first time entrepreneur, building a global online business with the premiere wellness and beauty company, to help others extend their healthspan, stay vibrant, active, and independent as they age. Now retired from medical practice, Dr. Lockitch is an empathetic coach and mentor but does not diagnose, treat or prescribe for medical diseases.
