About this episode
Adena Bank Lees, LCSW, LIAC, BCETS, CP is a licensed clinical social worker, licensed addiction counselor, board-certified expert in traumatic stress, and certified practitioner of psychodrama with more than 35 years of experience.
A recognized authority on childhood trauma, Adena specializes in covert emotional incest — a form of hidden abuse she also knows personally, as a thriver with a lived history of childhood sexual abuse and covert emotional incest.
Adena is the author of Covert Emotional Incest: The Hidden Sexual Abuse, A Story of Hope and Healing (updated and revised edition), which includes over 100 pages of new content for clinicians featuring case vignettes, ethical treatment examples, and consultation guidelines. When she's not in the therapy room or training room, you'll find her laughing with loved ones, singing at the top of her lungs in the car, or soaking up time in nature.
