Join Dr. Lee for a VERY special podcast episode- The Audio Recording of one of the most powerful trainings she's ever done- Take Back Your Choice!

Take Back Your Choice was an activation event focused on understanding the core human needs of peace, joy, and safety, while supporting listeners in reclaiming their choice and practicing intentional decision-making.

She walks us through the six major threats to these core needs: certainty, hurry (urgency), obligation, importance, commitment, and expectation.

Dr. Lee shares personal stories and experiences from her work with the Institute to illustrate each point.

Dr. Cordell also introduces the newly updated TRIPS™ On Demand program, inviting participants to join and receive support during their journey towards psychological safety and personal freedom.

In this episode adapted from Dr. Lee's latest live in our Becoming Trauma Informed Facebook Group, Dr. Lee reflects on the lessons learned from running the Institute over the past three years, celebrating its anniversary.

Key insights include the importance of understanding and maintaining personal capacity, the significance of boundaries, and the necessity of focusing on what is within one’s sphere of influence. The discussion also covers how small, consistent steps can lead to significant impacts, the importance of receiving support and working within a community, and the concept of sufficiency and reciprocity in relationships, particularly in business and personal life.

Through the episode, Lee showcases how things can get much better than one might think possible by making aligned choices and understanding one's boundaries and needs.
