In this special episode, I welcome my very first guest, Estafana Johnson, LCSW, to the podcast. Estafana is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Director of Clinical Training at Arise Alliance, specializing in an innovative approach to trauma healing called Critical Memory Integration (CMI™).

We talk about how CMI helps people move beyond talk therapy to truly integrate painful memories, transform trauma into resilience, and reclaim a sense of wholeness. Estafana also shares her personal journey, powerful client transformations, and practical advice for anyone who feels stuck in repeating patterns.

If you’ve ever wondered how to stop being defined by your past and instead use it as a springboard for growth, this episode is for you. If you are a clinician looking to learn about employing CMI into your practice, please check out https://arisealliance.org/trainings/critical-memory-integration-cmi/#nexustraining  Together we can make a difference in the lives of others!
