In this episode, Jonathan sits down with Wellspring counselor Becky Hecht to talk about trauma—what it is, how it impacts the brain, and how our understanding of treatment has evolved over the years. Becky shares insights from her advanced training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T.), a newer counseling approach that offers unique benefits for those processing trauma.
Together they explore:
How trauma affects both mind and body
Why treatment approaches have shifted in recent decades
The unique strengths of A.R.T., including its relatively quick time frame and “non-invasive” nature—allowing clients to heal without needing to verbally share their story if they don’t want to
Whether you’re a counselor, someone impacted by trauma, or simply curious about how the brain heals, this conversation offers a hopeful and practical look at trauma recovery.
