In this episode of Hang In There, we welcome Tara Floersch, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in trauma, domestic and sexual violence, and women's empowerment.

Tara shares her journey from an intern at Alexandra House to her current role at Conscious Healing Counseling, where she partners with Alexandra House to provide therapy services for survivors. Together, we explore the importance of trauma-informed therapy, how trauma impacts the brain and body, and why finding the right therapeutic fit matters so deeply.

Tara also reflects on the power of the therapeutic relationship and how understanding, empathy, and education can help survivors rebuild self-worth and regain a sense of control in their healing journey.

We talk about what it means to advocate for yourself in the healing process and how self-awareness and support can guide that journey.

This conversation offers compassion, insight, and hope. Whether you are a survivor or supporting someone through healing, Tara’s wisdom is a reminder that recovery is possible and no one has to walk that path alone.
