99. Why Your Relationships Change When You Start Healing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, I'm talking about why some relationships deepen, why others fall away, and why relational healing isn’t always about setting boundaries or cutting people off. We explore intimacy, vulnerability, repair, self trust and learning how to stay connected to yourself while being connected to someone else. Need to work with a trauma informed therapist?

98. The Fawn Response & Appeasement (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, we explore the fawn response and why agreement doesn’t always mean consent. We unpack how fawning and appeasement can become survival strategies, how power dynamics shape them, and what healing can look like when it comes to saying no, tolerating tension, and staying connected to yourself.

97. Don't Ignore The Basics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week on Healing CPTSD, we explore the foundations of healing from complex trauma and why the basics matter. We unpack sleep, movement, nourishment, connection, nature, and meaning, and how trauma can disconnect us from our body’s needs. We also look at why therapy is only one part of healing and how small changes can support recovery. Need to work with a trauma informed therapist? BOOK IN YOUR 1:1 SESSIONS WITH ME
96. The Nervous System Trap: When Healing Becomes Another Thing to Achieve (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, we explore the nervous system regulation trap: when healing becomes another productivity project. We unpack why being regulated all the time was never the goal, how self-awareness can become hypervigilance, and when regulation tools become another form of avoidance. We also look at systemic stress and what a more human approach to healing can look like: flexibility, capacity, embodiment, and actually living your life.

95. Inside The Therapy Session: What I Actually Help Clients With (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, we explore what trauma therapy actually looks like beyond simply talking about your childhood. We unpack the three core parts of the healing process: processing past experiences with safety and compassion, moving from insight into embodied healing through nervous system regulation, and reconnecting with who you are beyond survival mode.
