On the final episode of our Stories of Healing series, Christopher and Nicole sit down with Milestones alum Brooke Scherer to further examine the effects of trauma on her life and the profound healing she experienced during her time at Milestones. While knee deep in what she describes as âthe darkest years of her life,â Brooke decided to pursue healing at Milestones after gentle encouragement from her husband (and fellow Milestones alum) Jordan. Upon witnessing the major shift in him, she became hopeful that real healing was possible for her too. We close out this episode by welcoming Jordan back to illuminate the beautiful unfolding of Brookeâs ânew enlightenmentâ and the newfound intimacy of their deepened connection.

This week, we invite Montanna Christoffersen to share her healing journey with us. In this conversation, we examine the importance of really, truly revealing yourself to another to inaugurate the process of healing. Montanna describes that the moment she finally allowed herself to be seen was only the beginning of the journey, and that life on the other side of Milestones has encouraged her to help destigmatize the notion of âresidential treatmentâ so that people might understand that healing is possible inside a safe environment like Milestones. Her hope is that we might reframe this environment as a beautiful place, or as she describes it, âa cocoon of healing.â

Welcome back to the Treating Trauma podcast! During the last 13 episodes of this limited series, we explored the nature of trauma and various healing modalities with our expert therapists and clinicians at Milestones. The series was such a helpful tool but in reflecting back, we felt like the story was incomplete without hearing firsthand from our Milestones alum about their personal experiences of transformation. In the next 4 episodes, we welcome past clients as they share the impacts of trauma on their lives, the pivotal moments that encouraged them to reach out in pursuit of a different path, and the transformative work they experienced inside the safe and nurturing environment of the healing hospitality at Milestones.
In this episode, Christopher and Nicole sit down with Tristan Trechsel to discuss his time at Milestones, the power of community, and his ongoing pursuit of healing.
