Pepper Joy: Taking the Science of Healing Soul Deep

In this episode of Sandwich Parenting, Sherry Yuan Hunter introduces a very special guest, Pepper Joy Greggs, who is a fellow IAOTRC trauma recovery coach and author of RReST: Restorative Response System Theory.  She asks us to ask ourselves what if trauma responses were not seen in a negative light or as a broken function of the brain. She invites us to think that just as we have genetic code to survive trauma, we also possess the code for restoration and thriving. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE: What is RReST Theory?
