About this episode

Stephanie Hanneken discusses her journey in healing trauma and the holistic approach of her counseling practice.

Stephanie Hanneken, Founder of Inspire Change Counseling, on Healing Trauma, EMDR, and a Holistic Mind-Body-Spirit Approach to Success. The hosts interview licensed therapist and personal trainer Stephanie Hanneken, who grew up in St. Louis, moved to Arizona six years ago, and describes her winding education path from music scholarship and volleyball to journalism and organizational communications before pursuing counseling. She shares surviving an abusive college relationship involving coercion and rape, subsequent PTSD and panic attacks, leaving the relationship at 20, transferring to Mizzou, and later discovering psychology after a counselor encouraged her to enter the field. Stephanie explains how faith, exercise, and a holistic mind-body-spirit framework shaped her practice, Inspire Change Counseling (founded 2014, with offices in Phoenix and St. Louis). She details how EMDR works and how clinicians identify root memories and reduce triggers, discusses attachment theory’s role in modern relationships, and defines success as impacting others and helping people heal and share their stories.
