Dr. Brandon Shurn is a mental health professional and counselor educator holding a Doctor of Philosophy in Counselor Education and Supervision and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.  In this episode, Dr. Brandon Shurn discusses his journey to working with trauma from a clinical focus. He talks about how trauma work is complex and often misunderstood and how he aims to bring a holistic and empowering approach to help individuals navigate their traumas. He introduces the concept of "swimming in the ocean" of trauma rather than simply "white-knuckling" through it. Dr. Shurn also challenges the notion that trauma can only be coped with and emphasizes the importance of empowering individuals to navigate their traumas.
