Tanya is no stranger to helping others manage the emotions that arise when expressing meaningful feelings. Tanya shares her own intimate story about her wedding day, and her communication with her son, and healing old pain. Tanya gives us powerful insights on how she came to grips with letting go of the anger that holds us back from compromise and forgiveness. Big Takeaways: Often, a therapist is the best person to help you heal family trauma. Talking things out might seem like a good idea, but sometimes it just serves to rehash the ugliness of the pain. Setting aside your ego and acknowledging the pain of someone else by honoring their feelings, is most often what the other party is searching for. If you can set aside the desire to be apologized to, it's easier to move forward. The Big Wedding Planning Podcast is... Hosted and produced by Michelle Martinez.
