In this episode of Between Beauty & Heartache, Chassie Anders invites Cathy Loerzel to discuss the foundations of story work, what it means to attune to the younger parts of ourselves, the importance of the healing journey, why we still experience heartache, and much more.
Cathy spent the last 15 years developing the theory and methodology of a popular new coaching and therapeutic approach called Story Work that moves people through their past stories of heartache to heal and discover healthier ways of being in the world. Cathy believes, "If we are honest, we know that none of us have escaped heartache and trauma in this beautifully broken world. The question then is how we heal in order not just to make it through, but truly thrive in the light of all that God would hope for us."
