Dr. Valerie Rein is a psychologist and brilliant businesswoman who magically came into my life a few years ago. It’s been so much fun watching her business grow and running into each other in the most random situations. She has a new book, Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Inner Barrier to Women's Happiness and Fulfillment, coming out next week so I had to have her on the podcast. From generational trauma to patriarchal systems (including medicine and psychology), Dr. Valerie shares how and why women have been trained to believe that they are broken and that something is wrong with them. She’s on a mission to change that narrative and provide practical tools to overcoming this epidemic. To pre-order her book, and receive the first chapter for free, all you have to do is go to https://www.drvalerie.com/book. What we cover in this episode: • How Dr. Valerie went from an overworked psychologist to a coach and speaker based on a health scare that set her on a new path • Generational trauma and what she defines as “Patriarchy Stress Disorder” • Why we tend to minimize and deny trauma and the reasons why you often need more than just talk therapy • How change can happen very fast when you use trauma healing tools and techniques • Dr. Valerie’s personal lessons from writing her new book Want to work with me next year?
