Here is a unique personal conversation with Gift From Within’s Founder, Dr. Frank Ochberg. Frank is a psychiatrist, a pioneer in trauma science, an educator and the editor of the first text on the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). He is one of the founding fathers of modern psychotraumatology and served on the committee that defined PTSD.

Interviewed by life coach, Charles D’Angelo, Frank discusses his philosophy of life and work including his strategies in assisting clients in creating meaningful and lasting change. Worthwhile!
