What happens when years of eating disorder treatment reduce symptoms but never fully address the trauma underneath? In this episode of the Dr. Marianne-Land Podcast, I welcome Jennifer Lancaster, LCSW, for a conversation about complex trauma treatment for eating disorders, including the role of EMDR therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), attachment trauma, nervous system healing, and shame recovery. Whether you're recovering from anorexia, bulimia, ARFID, binge eating disorder, or another eating disorder, understanding the connection between trauma and eating disorders can open new possibilities for healing. Jennifer is a licensed clinical social worker and founder of Houston Healing Collective. Drawing on more than a decade of experience treating eating disorders and complex trauma, she explains why many clients arrive after years of therapy saying they understand why they struggle but still feel trapped in the same patterns. We discuss how trauma-informed treatment can move beyond symptom management by addressing the underlying experiences that shaped the nervous system in the first place. Why Complex Trauma Often Fuels Eating Disorders Complex trauma is not always one catastrophic event. It can develop through repeated experiences of emotional neglect, attachment disruptions, chronic criticism, unsafe relationships, community violence, poverty, or growing up without feeling consistently seen, safe, or emotionally supported. Jennifer shares how her own experiences and years of clinical work helped her recognize that many eating disorders function as adaptive responses to unresolved trauma rather than isolated illnesses. We also discuss why many people in eating disorder recovery become frustrated when treatment focuses primarily on changing behaviors without creating space to process traumatic experiences. Although symptom stabilization remains important, Jennifer explains why many clients eventually seek treatment that addresses the deeper emotional wounds beneath restrictive eating, binge eating, purging, or other eating disorder symptoms. EMDR Therapy for Trauma and Eating Disorders Jennifer explains how she integrates EMDR therapy into eating disorder treatment. She discusses the importance of building trust, strengthening nervous system regulation, assessing readiness, and helping clients expand their window of tolerance before trauma reprocessing begins. She also describes how EMDR allows people to process traumatic memories without needing to repeatedly tell every painful detail, making the work feel more manageable for many survivors of complex trauma. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Explained If you've been curious about ketamine-assisted therapy for PTSD, trauma, or eating disorders, Jennifer offers an accessible explanation of how this treatment works. She discusses why ketamine differs from traditional psychiatric medications, how it may temporarily increase neuroplasticity, and why those changes can create opportunities for deeper therapeutic work. We also talk about the brain's default mode network, rigid thinking patterns, and why many people experience new perspectives during treatment that previously felt impossible to access. One of the most important messages in this episode is that ketamine itself is not the treatment. Jennifer emphasizes that preparation, psychotherapy, and thoughtful integration before and after medicine sessions are what help lasting healing occur. Rather than replacing therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy works alongside trauma-focused treatment approaches like EMDR and other evidence-informed therapies. Healing Shame Through Safe Relationships Jennifer also shares her own experience receiving ketamine-assisted therapy and how it transformed her relationship with shame. She describes participating in a therapeutic group experience where she felt safe enough to openly share parts of her story for the first time. That experience inspired her to develop group ketamine retreats because she witnessed how healing can deepen when people experience connection, compassionate witnessing, and emotional safety alongside trauma treatment. Our conversation also explores why shame often survives in isolation but begins to loosen when people experience safe therapeutic relationships. Whether treatment happens individually or in a carefully facilitated group setting, safety remains the foundation of meaningful trauma recovery. Who Should Listen This episode is for adults recovering from anorexia, bulimia, ARFID, binge eating disorder, or other eating disorders. It is also valuable for parents, caregivers, therapists, dietitians, physicians, and other healthcare professionals who want a deeper understanding of complex trauma, EMDR therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, PTSD, attachment trauma, and trauma-informed eating disorder treatment. In This Episode Jennifer explains how complex trauma contributes to eating disorders, why attachment wounds often remain hidden beneath eating disorder symptoms, how EMDR therapy helps people process traumatic memories, what ketamine-assisted psychotherapy actually involves, why preparation and integration matter just as much as the medicine itself, how neuroplasticity may support healing, why shame often decreases through safe therapeutic relationships, and how trauma-informed care can help people move beyond surviving toward genuine recovery. Content Cautions This episode includes discussion of eating disorders, anorexia, bulimia, ARFID, PTSD, complex trauma, childhood adversity, attachment trauma, emotional neglect, shame, poverty, community violence, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and ketamine-assisted therapy.

From crack addiction and the cartel to spiritual freedom, Austin Rampt's extraordinary story is one of destruction, survival, surrender and ultimately coming home to himself.Austin took his first drink at just thirteen years old. By fifteen, he was addicted to opiate painkillers, and by seventeen, he was smoking crack cocaine. His addiction led to overdoses, repeated attempts at rehabilitation, the accidental destruction of his family home and a devastating relapse after nine years of sobriety.After being given the choice between rehabilitation and prison, Austin left rehab after just six days, boarded a plane and escaped to Mexico. There, he found himself surrounded by drugs and drawn into the dangerous world of the cartel.But behind the appearance of money, excess and partying was a man sitting alone in a room, drunk and high, crying because he missed his children.In this deeply honest conversation, Austin and Jason explore what addiction is really trying to soothe, why outward success cannot heal an internal wound and how the gifts of sobriety can sometimes take us away from the very practices that made sobriety possible.Jason also opens up about his own experiences with cocaine, cannabis, shame and self-destruction—and the difficult journey of learning to see addiction not as a moral failing, but as an attempt to escape unbearable pain.Together, they explore:• How childhood experiences can shape addiction and self-worth• The danger of believing achievement will make us worthy• Why external success can conceal profound internal suffering• Austin's experiences with addiction and the cartel in Mexico• Jason's own journey through cocaine use, cannabis and psychosis• The importance of connection, honesty and intimate relationships• Why punishment and the war on drugs fail to address the roots of addiction• The spiritual foundations of the Twelve Steps• What it truly means to surrender to a power greater than ourselves• How our greatest failures can become the foundation of our service• Why healing may be less about becoming somebody new and more about uncovering who we have always beenAustin is the author of One Last Hit: The Remarkable True Story of an Addict's Journey to Find Himself. His experiences now allow him to speak openly about recovery, fatherhood, spirituality and the possibility of building a meaningful life after complete destruction.As Austin explains:“My journey of healing has not been to add anything to me. It's been to unwind all the things that were essentially not me.”Whether you have experienced addiction personally, love somebody who has, or recognise the ways we all reach for things outside ourselves to change how we feel inside, this conversation offers a powerful reminder:Surrender is not always defeat.Sometimes, surrender is where freedom begins.CONNECT WITH AUSTIN RAMPTWebsite and book:https://www.onelasthitbook.comCONNECT WITH JASON AND SOUL SYNCWebsite:https://www.jasonpaulmedium.comYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@jasonpaulsoulsyncSubscribe to the Soul Sync newsletter at the bottom of the Jason Paul website.For enquiries:hello@jasonpaulmedium.comIf this conversation resonated with you, please follow Soul Sync, share the episode with somebody who may need to hear it and leave a rating or review.

Warum verläuft eine Depression bei manchen Menschen chronisch über Jahre, während andere wieder vollständig genesen? Häufig liegt die Antwort nicht nur in der Gegenwart, sondern in Erfahrungen der Kindheit. In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber, warum das Erleben von verschiedenen Trauma-Arten – der entscheidende Faktor für schwerere Verläufe ist und warum eine reine Symptombekämpfung nicht immer ausreicht.

Some stories stay with you long after you've heard them........This is one of them.In this deeply honest conversation on One For The Road, Peter shares the extraordinary journey that led him from a childhood surrounded by alcoholism, addiction and chaos to finding lasting freedom through sobriety. Growing up in West London, Peter experienced neglect, trauma, poverty and instability from an early age. As the years passed, he built what appeared to be a successful life, great career, nice cars, marriage and family;But beneath the surface, unresolved childhood pain quietly shaped every decision he made.Alcohol eventually became more than a drink. It became an escape.Peter opens up about how drinking masked decades of emotional wounds, the collapse of two marriages, living behind carefully constructed "masks", and the moment he realised that stopping drinking wasn't the end of the journey, it was the beginning of healing.This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery isn't simply about putting down the bottle. It's about rebuilding your identity, understanding your past and learning to live with honesty, connection and purpose.In this episode we discuss:Growing up in a home affected by alcoholism and addictionThe hidden impact of childhood traumaHow neglect shapes self-worth and identityLiving behind masks and becoming the person you think others wantWhy success, money and material possessions couldn't fix the painAlcohol as a coping mechanism rather than the real problemThe collapse of relationships through addictionThe difficult first year of sobrietyWhy unresolved trauma often resurfaces after quitting alcoholFinding healing through connection, journaling and honest conversationsBecoming the father he always wanted to beWhy life genuinely gets better without alcoholKey TakeawaysChildhood experiences can influence our adult behaviours far more than we realise.Alcohol often becomes a solution to emotional pain rather than the root problem.Sobriety is about much more than quitting drinking—it's about learning who you really are.Healing from trauma takes time, patience and honest self-reflection.It's never too late to change your life or repair relationships.Recovery isn't about becoming perfect—it's about becoming authentic.Resources MentionedWhat Happened to You? by Oprah Winfrey & Dr Bruce PerryJournaling as a recovery toolPeer support and sober communitiesTrauma-informed recoveryIf you enjoyed this episode please consider following the podcast, leaving a review and sharing this episode with someone who may need to hear it.Recovery is possible, and every conversation helps break the stigma around alcohol, trauma and mental health.If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice.www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Thank you for listening to One For The Road.

SYNOPSIS:What does it mean to experience yourself as a fertile body? And what happens when your body doesn't seem to be cooperating with your deepest hopes?In this wide-ranging conversation, Ali speaks with Harvard-awarded fertility specialist Gabriela Rosa about fertility as far more than a medical diagnosis. Together they explore the meaning we attach to parenthood, the relationship between fertility and creativity, the impact of trauma and relationships on reproductive health, and why infertility is never simply "a women's issue."Gabriela shares her evidence-based, integrative approach to fertility, explaining how removing obstacles to health often allows the body's innate intelligence to do what it already knows how to do. Along the way, they discuss IVF, implantation, sperm health, miscarriage, Family Constellation Work, embodiment, and the profound question of how we learn to trust the intelligence of our bodies – even when it seems to be saying "not yet."Whether you're navigating fertility challenges, considering parenthood, or simply curious about the body's remarkable capacity for intelligence and healing, this conversation offers a deeply humane perspective on one of life's most meaningful journeys.Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to reconsider one of the podcast's central questions: What becomes possible when we stop treating the body as a problem to solve and begin discovering the body's innate intelligence?To subscribe now, click hereTo be an angel to the podcast, click here To read more about the podcast, click here FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:Website: https://www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:FREE Guided Body Mapping Taster: Heart/Sexuality SplitFive-films series (made by Ali Mezey) on renowned Family Constellation Facilitator, Stephan Hausner's work with transgenerational influences on illnessFOR MORE GABRIELA ROSA: BIO:Gabriela Rosa, DrPH (Candidate, Harvard), is a Harvard-awarded fertility specialist, founder of The Rosa Institute, and author of Fertility Breakthrough: Overcoming Infertility and Recurrent Miscarriage When Other Treatments Have Failed.

WHO THIS EPISODE HELPSAnyone carrying the lasting effects of childhood emotional neglect, unresolved grief, spiritual trauma, complicated loss, or relationship wounds. This conversation is especially meaningful for people who have spent years believing they needed to earn love, acceptance, or belonging.WHAT LISTENERS WILL GETA deeply honest conversation about grief beyond death, healing childhood trauma, repairing broken relationships, understanding emotional neglect, and discovering that recovery begins by acknowledging what happened instead of pretending it didn't.DESCRIPTION:Some losses leave a headstone. Others quietly shape an entire lifetime without anyone recognizing them as grief. In this episode of Grief Is Not A Dirty Word, Nick sits down with author, speaker, and trauma survivor Danielle Bernock to explore childhood emotional neglect, spiritual trauma, accumulated grief, family loss, and the lifelong process of healing. Danielle shares how losing multiple family members, experiencing rejection inside her church, and growing up believing she had to earn love affected every relationship she would later have. Together, Nick and Danielle discuss why grief is often much bigger than death, why trauma compounds over time, and why repairing our relationship with ourselves often becomes the foundation for healing every other relationship in our lives. This conversation is filled with honesty, compassion, laughter, and hope for anyone learning that their story is not over.THIS EPISODE ANSWERS: What is childhood emotional neglect, and how does it affect adults later in life? How can unresolved childhood trauma influence grief and relationships? What is spiritual trauma, and how can someone begin healing from it? Why do multiple losses seem to become harder instead of easier over time? How do you begin repairing your relationship with yourself after years of emotional pain? KEY TAKEAWAYS: Emotional neglect can leave lifelong wounds even when parents genuinely loved their children. Grief extends far beyond death and often includes the loss of safety, belonging, identity, trust, and connection. Trauma frequently accumulates over time, making later losses feel even heavier than earlier ones. Healing does not require blaming others forever, but it does require honestly acknowledging what happened. Repairing the relationship you have with yourself often becomes the first step toward repairing relationships with others.DANIELLE'S LINKS:WEBSITE: https://www.daniellebernock.comCONTACT: https://www.daniellebernock.com/contact/COACHING: https://www.daniellebernock.com/coaching/SPEAKING: https://www.daniellebernock.com/speaking/TO BUY DANIELLE'S BOOKS: https://www.daniellebernock.com/books/Support the showGIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS!

One of the UK's leading mental health advocates, Josh Connolly, joins us for a deeply honest conversation about childhood trauma, addiction, and what it really takes to break generational cycles.Josh reflects on growing up with a father battling severe alcoholism, witnessing his death at just nine years old, and the lasting impact those experiences had on his own life. He shares how he found himself repeating the same patterns, the turning point that led him to choose recovery, and the work that has helped him heal over the past 14 years.Together, we explore fatherhood, emotional regulation, and why learning to feel, not just survive, has transformed the way Josh lives, loves, and parents today.This episode covers the following themes: Childhood Trauma, Active Addiction, Suicidal Ideation, Somatic Healing & Breathwork, and Breaking Generational Cycles.AG1

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Stefanos Sifandos returns to the show six years after his first appearance, and this time the conversation goes straight to the bone. A behavioral scientist and relationship expert who's worked with Olympic gold medalists, world champion fighters, special forces operators, and high-performing couples, Stefanos helps successful people confront the emotional armor and old patterns that achievement can't hide. He's also the author of the new book Tuned In and Turned On. Larry and Stefanos both grew up with volatile, abusive fathers, and they open up about the exact moments they stood up to the men who terrorized them, the survival patterns that followed them into adulthood, and the slow inner work of forgiveness. If you're a man carrying more than you've ever said out loud, this conversation names it and points to a way through. Timeline Summary [1:02] – Stefanos returns after six years and revisits growing up in violence [3:09] – A gambler father, criminal company, and never knowing which version you'd get [4:39] – How the abuse shifted between two brothers over the years [6:24] – Leaving the country at 18 and the eldest-child savior role [7:40] – Larry shares his own story of standing up to his mom's abusive boyfriend [10:09] – Why a terrifying confrontation can be a painful gift with a long trajectory [12:40] – Stefanos on the night at the kitchen bench when he told his dad "I'm not small anymore" [18:46] – Stefanos' full background in behavioral science, performance, and embodiment [21:24] – The unconscious, fractured initiation from boyhood into manhood [23:44] – Larry on deliberately taking his sons through rites of passage [24:26] – Where the relationship with his father stands now, and the memoir project [27:15] – Forgiveness as an inside job and letting go without relying on the other person [29:37] – Scarcity, hypervigilance, and why the nervous system prepares for the worst [36:18] – Why 80% of healing is how others show up and meet you [38:41] – How children internalize abuse as proof they're unworthy [41:24] – The book's practices: get a friend, and why men are so isolated [46:20] – Deliberate solitude in nature and learning to slow down [48:55] – Seeking physical challenge as the path to real confidence 5 Key Takeaways Standing Up Is an Initiation — For many men, the shift from boyhood to manhood happens through a raw, unchosen confrontation rather than a healthy rite of passage. Naming that moment helps you understand who you became because of it. Forgiveness Is an Inside Job — Closure doesn't require the other person to change or even participate. Peace comes from your own diligent inner work, not from waiting on an apology. Your Survival Patterns Made Sense Once — Scarcity thinking and catastrophizing were hypervigilant survival tools in childhood. The work isn't to shame them away, but to notice them and stop feeding the beast. Healing Is Relational — Around 80% of transformation is being met with compassion and nonjudgment by someone who can relate to you. Insight matters, but connection is what actually changes you. Get a Friend, Then Get Alone — Men are epidemically lonely, so build real friendships despite the risk. Then balance that with deliberate solitude in nature and physical challenge that builds genuine confidence.

Have you ever been hurt by someone? It may seem like a silly question, but often times we like to pretend the answer is no, especially when it comes to our childhood. Our default reaction to pain is to hide it until it goes away, but when it inevitably doesn't, God is waiting with a better plan.In Week 9 of "Comeback Stories," Pastor Jason dives into the heartbreaking story of Jepthah in Judges 11-12. Once a castaway, Jepthah gains everything and then loses it all because he never dealt with his past wounds. Today, we unpack the damage childhood trauma inflicts on us and those around us, and the steps we can take to find healing and break generational curses.

Can parenting influence a child's sexuality? It's one of the most debated questions in Christian circles—and one that's often answered with extremes.In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady Cone responds to the claim that "bad parenting doesn't make kids gay" and explores what Scripture, discipleship, and years of ministry reveal about family dynamics, childhood wounds, and same-sex attraction.This conversation is not about blaming parents. It's about understanding how emotional attachment, trauma, and the lies we believe can shape our hearts while remembering that every person is responsible before God and that true healing is found in Christ.If you're a parent, someone wrestling with same-sex attraction, or simply trying to think biblically about these issues, this episode is for you.In this episode:Do parents cause same-sex attraction?Can childhood trauma influence sexuality?What role do emotionally distant fathers and anxious mothers play?Why grace for parents matters.Understanding the difference between influence and blame.How Romans 1 informs discipleship and healing.Shepherding your child's heart with humility and truth.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction00:45 Responding to the Facebook claim03:17 Parents aren't to blame06:38 Family patterns that matter07:07 The role of sexual abuse09:35 Three parenting categories13:23 Romans 1 and believing lies15:31 Why ignoring root issues is dangerous18:00 Understanding the past without excusing sin20:10 Encouragement for parents22:48 Final encouragement and ministry invitationIf this conversation encouraged you, like this video, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs biblical clarity and hope.Join us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality!

— How do we heal from wounds that were never acknowledged? What happens when the pain we carry has been minimized, dismissed, or hidden for years? And how do we begin to trust ourselves again when we've been taught to doubt our own memories, feelings, and instincts? In this episode, we explore the lasting impact of childhood trauma, emotional manipulation, narcissistic abuse, and the invisible wounds that can follow us long into adulthood. These experiences often shape far more than we realize—affecting our self-worth, relationships, boundaries, sense of safety, and even our ability to experience joy. Yet healing is possible. We discuss what it means to gently face painful truths without becoming overwhelmed by them, how to reclaim your voice after years of silence, and why self-compassion is such an essential part of the healing journey. We also explore the importance of validating our own experiences, honoring our emotions, and releasing the pressure to heal according to someone else's expectations or timeline. This conversation is not about staying stuck in the past. It is about understanding how the past may still be influencing the present—and discovering that awareness can become the first step toward freedom. Most importantly, we explore the profound truth that healing is not about fixing what is broken. It is about remembering who we were before the wounds, reconnecting with our inner wisdom, and finding the courage to live from a place of authenticity rather than survival. Whether you are on your own healing journey, supporting someone you love, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of the human experience, this episode offers compassionate insights, hope, and a reminder that no matter what you have endured, your story is not over. You deserve to feel safe. You deserve to trust yourself. You deserve to be heard. And perhaps most importantly, you deserve permission to heal. Valeria interviews Melonie Packer — She is the author of " Permission To Heal: From Sexual Abuse, Narcissistic Abuse, and Childhood Trauma." Melonie's book is a deeply personal memoir exploring narcissistic abuse, childhood sexual trauma, and the many paths to healing. Melonie speaks with raw honesty, compassion, and hope, drawing from her lived experience and the practical tools that helped her heal.

Reparenting the inner child sounds like pop psychology until you understand how the nervous system stores what happened to you.Dr. Nicole LePera is a holistic psychologist and New York Times bestselling author, and her return conversation goes into why insight alone rarely changes anything. She lays out the two-step process for real change and what it takes to interrupt the reactive patterns most of us live in without noticing.Epigenetics gets a grounded, non-woo explanation here.

LISTEN: On the July 14 edition: With cyclosporiasis spreading across the U.S, the Georgia Department of Public Health is urging Georgians to take precautions; a Burke County sheriff has been indicted on extortion and gun charges; and new research from UGA shows the effects that childhood trauma can have on adulthood.
What if the biggest thing standing between you and better health isn't your diet, your workout routine, or your hormones?What if it's the relationship you've built with yourself?In this conversation, I sit down with psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Nicole LePera to explore how our earliest experiences shape the way we move through adulthood. From emotional eating and food noise to perfectionism, people pleasing, burnout, and the struggle to trust ourselves, so many of the habits we think are personality traits are actually learned survival strategies.We also explore why healing isn't about becoming someone new. It's about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have always been there.If you've ever wondered why you know what to do for your health but still struggle to follow through, this conversation offers a completely different way to understand yourself.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the first five years of life shape the way your nervous system responds to stressWhy food noise and emotional eating often point to deeper unmet needsHow small daily promises help rewire your brain and build confidenceThe difference between guilt and shame, and how each affects your decisionsWhy learning to rest can feel uncomfortable for so many womenPractical ways to reconnect with your body and begin healing old patterns_More on Dr. Nicole LePeraDr. Nicole LePera is a holistic psychologist, trained at Cornell University, The New School for Social Research and The Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis.

Before her brother Eden was murdered, Jessica Brown was already fighting for social change. She had dedicated her career to helping disadvantaged girls, giving them a chance to break the cycle of destitution and abuse through mentoring, education and crisis intervention.

In this captivating episode of the Transform Your Mind podcast, host Myrna Young is joined by the extraordinary Sarah Marks, who shares her harrowing journey from childhood trauma to spiritual and personal awakening. The conversation delves deep into Sarah's experiences with childhood abuse, human trafficking, and her struggle with PTSD, which eventually led her to profound insights into human consciousness and the power of DNA as a biological internet. This episode explores the intersection of science and spirituality and encourages listeners to connect with their higher selves to foster healing and transformation.The discussion highlights how Sarah's near-death experience and tumultuous life events catalyzed a unique spiritual awakening, prompting her to explore holistic healing practices such as somatic therapy and kinesiology. With Myrna's guidance, the episode investigates how individuals can begin to trust their intuition again after trauma by gently working through somatic practices and reconnecting with their bodies. By drawing connections between spirituality, science, and personal development, this episode offers listeners transformative insights and practical steps towards healing.Key Takeaways:Harnessing DNA's Healing Power: Sarah posits that DNA operates like a biological internet, responding to positive intentions and frequencies, facilitating healing.Existing Beyond Trauma: Trauma does not define us; by reconnecting with our innate intuition and higher selves, profound healing can occur.Engaging with Somatic Practices: Somatic work is key to healing trauma. It involves gently reengaging the nervous system to process blocked experiences safely and effectively.Trusting Intuition Post-Trauma: Differentiating between fear originating from trauma and reality is critical to regaining self-trust and intuitive clarity.The Journey to Awakening: Sarah's own near-death experience served as a catalyst for her spiritual awakening, demonstrating the power of critical life moments in personal transformation.Notable Quotes:"DNA responds to intention. The intent of love can lead DNA to actually start healing itself." – Sarah Marks"Trust the basic gut instincts; trauma distorts reality, but the intuition remains intact beneath." – Sarah Marks"Trauma may distort your perception of reality, making it look like a cracked mirror of fragmented pieces." – Sarah Marks"The sharpness of presence is needed to reach God and become aware of our full spectrum of abilities." – Sarah Marks"You're carrying so much that's not yours, but coming back home to yourself is to reweave that brokenness into oneness." – Sarah MarksSee Transcript of the episode https://www.buzzsprout.com/1761155/19430588-beyond-survival-reclaiming-your-life-after-childhood-trauma/transcriptSee this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094Feedspot Top 100 Mental Health Podcast For sponsored Brand interviews and sponsorship inquires please visit Partner With The Transform Your Mind Podcast | Myrna Young Life Coach

Send us Fan MailThis week we have a great chat with Jane Garnett, who thought she was living her ‘perfect life' unhappy and unfulfilled! Jane's memoir is the realization that she'd spent years pursuing a false version of happiness and success. She didn't have any healthy role models growing up, so she based her idea of fulfillment on what she saw in movies and popular culture. She became a Hollywood producer who worked for Leonardo DiCaprio, had a powerful Hollywood husband, social status, and all the external markers of success she thought would finally make her happy— but instead, she was miserable and lonely.The major turning point comes when Jane is unexpectedly called to the hospice bedside of her beloved mentor, Dr. Marie, the therapist who helped inspire Jane's own career change. Jane was already in a period of deep personal reckoning: her marriage was unraveling, she was estranged from her closest friend, and she was questioning nearly every major decision she'd made. And then she sees this woman she loved and admired, who had already lost her longtime partner and become estranged from her son, facing the end of her life alone.It forced Jane to confront something she'd spent most of her life trying to outrun: that no amount of achievement, status, or external success can protect us from loneliness, grief, or pain. That experience ultimately shaped the philosophy she practices today: helping people reconnect with themselves instead of living by inherited definitions of success or happiness.

Elisa Saunders looked like she had it all figured out. A successful teacher, put together, dependable. Nobody saw the drinking that started long before she ever stepped into a classroom, rooted in childhood trauma that set the stage for what came next.For years she functioned. She showed up, she performed, she kept the mask on. Until two DUIs threatened the career she'd built her identity around, and the gap between who she appeared to be and who she actually was became impossible to ignore.Getting sober wasn't the fix she thought it would be. She quit drinking but didn't work a program, and ended up suicidal while dry, proof that just removing the alcohol isn't the same as recovery. It wasn't until she started working the steps that things actually changed.In this episode, Elisa talks about that turning point, and the deeper work that came after: learning to reparent herself and give herself the love she never got as a kid. She now works in treatment, helping others find their way through the same wreckage she climbed out of.This is a conversation about the distance between appearing fine and actually being fine, and what it takes to close that gap for good.Today's episode is brought to you by Seasons in Malibu. For over 18 years, Seasons has been a sanctuary for individuals seeking to reclaim their lives from addiction and mental health challenges. Our story began with a simple but profound vision: To create a luxurious sanctuary for individuals struggling with addiction or mental health issues, where they can receive the finest, evidence-based treatment in the world.Built on Compassion, Driven by ExcellenceWhat started as a small number of compassionate professionals has grown into one of the nation's most respected luxury treatment centers. But growth has never meant losing sight of what matters most—the individual engaging with our therapists, one-on-one, taking the courageous first step toward healing.From the beginning, we understood that truly transformative treatment requires more than clinical protocols. It demands a personalized approach, led by the most qualified professionals, in an environment that nurtures the whole person. That's why we've assembled a team where every primary therapist holds a Doctorate in Psychology - a distinction virtually unmatched in our field.Check out Seasons Malibu online or call 1-866-314-5160 for more information.Connect with Seasons on Instagram Connect with Elisa on InstagramDM me on InstagramMessage me on FacebookListen AD FREE & workout with me on Patreon Connect with me on TikTokEmail me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

Pop culture nostalgia hit different when your "kids' movies" casually handed you lifelong emotional damage. Natalie and Angela revisit the devastating films and TV episodes that somehow became comfort rewatches for an entire generation. From My Girl and The NeverEnding Story to Little House on the Prairie, they unpack why children of the '80s and '90s willingly returned to stories that left them sobbing. Along the way, they dive into humorous commentary about Macaulay Culkin crushes, Michael Landon obsessions, and whether emotional resilience was secretly built through fictional trauma. Was it character development... or collective generational conditioning? Either way, we're laughing through the tears.
This week we're throwing back to a powerful conversation between Ivelisse and Megan Van Zyl, founder and CEO of Cancer Peace University. Megan dives into healing cancer from every angle, physical, emotional, and spiritual, starting with her favorite health tip: connecting lifestyle change to a deeper sense of purpose. She unpacks immune "anergy," chronic infections like H. pylori and hepatitis, toxins, parasites, and the often-overlooked links between thyroid health, mitochondrial function, and oxygen deficiency in cancer. Megan also walks through detox roadblocks like slow methylation, MTHFR issues, lymph stagnation, and liver backup, sharing practical tools like dry brushing, rebounding, coffee enemas, and infrared saunas, plus the role of modified citrus pectin in reducing cancer cell "clumping" around biopsy or surgery.But the conversation goes beyond the physical. Megan explores psycho-neuroimmunology and how childhood trauma can quietly suppress the immune system's natural killer cells, why talk therapy sometimes isn't enough, and offers gentle tools like free-association journaling and trauma timelines for deeper healing. Faith, hope, and stories of spontaneous remission are woven throughout, reflecting the heart of Cancer Peace University's mission. It's an episode full of insight, encouragement, and real hope for anyone walking through a cancer journey.Learn more about Megan Van Zyl and Cancer Peace University:https://cancerpeaceuniversity.com/the-bridge-program/ Suggested Resource Links:Cancer Peace UniversityBOOK: Patient, Heal Thyself by Jordan RubinThe Warburg EffectBOOK: Change Your Cancer Story: Why Some Heal & Others Don't by Megan Van ZylBOOK: Braving the Storm: Find Hope During a Cancer Diagnosis by Megan Van ZylBOOK: Fuel Your Body, Not Your Cancer - Anti Cancer Cookbook by Megan Van ZylYour donations power our podcast's mission to support cancer patients with hope, insights, and resources.

Is your chronic pain real — even when every test comes back normal? The answer is yes. And the science of neuroplastic symptoms is finally explaining why. In this episode of Inner Voice – A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan, Dr. Foojan Zeine sits down with Dr. David Clarke, MD — President of the Association for the Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms (ATNS), board-certified gastroenterologist and internal medicine physician, and author of They Can't Find Anything Wrong: 7 Keys to Understanding, Treating, and Healing Stress Illness. If you've spent months going from doctor to doctor, run every test, and been told “everything looks normal” — this conversation is for you. Dr. Clarke and Dr. Foojan explore the powerful connection between childhood trauma, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), chronic stress, and the very real brain-generated physical symptoms that affect an estimated 40% of all medical patients. This is not “it's all in your head.” This is neuroscience.

Can achievement become a coping mechanism? In this classic episode, I sit down with entrepreneur, investor, and former Facebook and Twitter growth leader Andy Johns to talk about the connection between childhood trauma, anxiety, achievement, and self-worth.
