Beyond the Couch: Bridges Mental Health Podcast

A Trauma-Informed Approach to Healthy Relationships

This week, Christie and Shelby Remillard, LMHC, discuss how individuals can mend and build healthy relationships by better understanding their interconnectedness with their communities, their pasts, and themselves.

They talk about how folks can process their wounds and learn what feels grounding to them in the safety of the therapeutic space, and how therapists can model healthy relationships so clients can recognize them outside of session. They also discuss dating burnout, emotional regulation, and how to healthily approach the process of grief and loss and the cultivation of relationships with those who have passed.

Shelby (she/her) is an Indigenous and Filipina therapist who lives and works in private practice in New York City. Within her practice, Shelby supports clients in trauma recovery through EMDR, building and maintaining healthy relationships, and experiencing the death of a loved one.
