Dr. Colette Sinclair on Trauma, Healing, and the Science of Emotion

🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy!

In this profound and expansive episode, Mary Meyer sits down with Dr. Colette Sinclair, a clinical psychologist with a PhD in clinical psychology and integral health, and creator of the Emotional Posture Method.

If you've ever felt stuck in a painful emotional state, or wondered whether real, lasting healing is truly possible, this conversation is for you.

Drawing on her own journey through significant childhood adversity and decades of work with deeply traumatized youth and adults, Dr. Sinclair shares a hopeful and empowering message: we are not limited. She explains how our "emotional posture," the emotion we experience most often, quietly shapes our health, our perception, and our entire reality.

Together, she and Mary explore the six transformative states of gratitude, acceptance, ease, forgiveness, compassion, and love, and dig honestly into trauma, the biofield, the true meaning of forgiveness, and the free, simple practices anyone can begin today.

This is a rich, deep conversation that never once touches the shallow end, and it offers real tools for anyone longing to change their set point and reclaim their power. You're not alone, and healing really is possible.
