Healing in Tight-Knit Community
with Bobby Chapman
According to Eric Erickson, the first thing a trauma survivor loses is trust. And in a counter-intuitive way, the only way to begin to heal from trauma is to trust.
At Milestones, we know that the most effective way to rebuild trust and heal from trauma is within the context of a safe and connected community of people who understand. Today, Mickenzie and Christopher are joined by Milestones Family and Adventure Therapist Bobby Chapman.
Reflecting on over 40 years in the treatment industry, Bobby shares the differentiators that Milestones brings to the space and offers a beautiful exploration of the magic of the community forged amongst the guests and staff. He also shares how Milestones facilitates work for clients and their families through our Family Weekend programming to help individuals address larger systemic struggles and introduce healing within a larger community.
