In this episode, we’re exploring implicit memory — the way trauma can live in the body and nervous system, often below conscious awareness. Unlike explicit memory, which recalls facts and events, implicit memory shows up as bodily reactions, emotional charges, or automatic responses. We’ll dive into how trauma gets encoded in the brain, how these memories can influence your daily life, and how somatic therapy can help make the implicit explicit — bringing fragmented experiences into a cohesive, healing narrative. I’ll also share tips for noticing signs of implicit memory and working with your body to integrate and heal.

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.

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.
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.
