This week, I’m joined by Alyssa Scarano, Licensed Professional Counselor and Founder of The Collective Therapy & Wellness.
Known for her deeply compassionate presence, Alyssa brings wisdom, warmth, and real talk to thispowerful conversation about healing, relationships, and reclaiming your inner truth.
Together, we explore how healing our past—especially childhood wounds and generational patterns—is essential for creating more connected, fulfilling relationships. Alyssa shares how self-compassion becomes the foundation forchange, and why honoring your emotional experience is not just important—it's transformational.
In this episode, we talk about:
*The link between childhood trauma and current relationship struggles
*Why self-compassion is a prerequisite for healthy connection
*How breaking generational cycles starts with awareness—not blame
*Alyssa’s approach to creating a safe space in the therapeutic process
Whether you're on your own healing journey or supporting others on theirs, this conversation is a gentle but powerful reminder: meaningful change begins within.
