<p>Healing doesn’t stop hurting just because you understand it.</p><p>I recorded this episode from a place I don’t talk about often — the beginning of my training, when I lost someone I loved and learned, very quickly, that insight doesn’t protect you from pain.</p><p>In this episode, I share how that experience reshaped the way I understand healing, both as a psychologist and as a human.
