In this episode, we’re holding space for the part of you that wonders if you're too spiritual, too intuitive, or just too much. If you’ve ever felt hesitant to bring your mystical or inner experiences into therapy, you’re not alone. We talk about how spiritual and intuitive ways of knowing can sit alongside evidence-based therapeutic work — and why they’re not in conflict. This is an invitation to stop editing yourself in the healing process. Your inner knowing is valid. Your spiritual life matters. And you don’t need to leave any part of yourself at the door. Let’s explore how therapy can be a space where all of you is welcome — even (AND ESPECIALLY) the woo!

In this personal episode, I’m sharing what I’ve been learning about building a healthy relationship after trauma, including vulnerability, interdependence, triggers, uncertainty and letting someone truly matter to you. I also explore why you don’t have to be fully healed to experience healthy love.

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.

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.
