In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant Irene Lyon, MSc, an internationally respected nervous system expert whose work has helped nearly 25,000 people in more than 90 countries transform trauma at its roots. If you've ever wondered why certain patterns, pains, or emotional states seem to follow you through life no matter what you try, this conversation is going to hit home.Irene breaks down the real science of trauma and somatic healing in a way that's refreshingly practical and deeply human. We explore the difference between what happens to us and what gets stored in us, and why the nervous system (not the mind) is the true home of unresolved stress. She shares how seemingly small experiences, from childhood injuries to subtle misattunements with caregivers, shape our lifelong patterns of safety, connection, resilience, and self-expression.We go deep into the subtle early-life imprints that create functional freeze, chronic pain, autoimmune tendencies, and emotional overwhelm, including why traditional talk therapy, meditation, or even spiritual practices often miss the foundational biology that must be restored first. Irene also opens up about her own journey from adrenaline-fueled athlete to somatic practitioner, and the radical personal healing that unfolded as she trained with pioneers like Dr. Moshé Feldenkrais, Peter Levine, and Kathy Kain.If you've been searching for a grounded, science-backed pathway to healing that honors both your biology and your soul, this episode is a powerful roadmap. Irene's wisdom is equal parts compassionate, embodied, and transformative—you won't see your nervous system the same way again.

In this episode of Empowered Through Compassion, I sit down with psychologist Dr. Tori Olds to explore the simple and profound act of slowing down. Tori is known for her clarity, depth, and ability to translate complex emotional processes into something the body can feel. Our conversation centers on what becomes possible when we pause long enough to listen to the quiet truths living inside us. Together we explore Coherence Therapy and the idea that symptoms are not random. They are expressions of implicit emotional learning. These learnings often formed early in life, outside of conscious awareness, and continue to shape how we protect ourselves. Coherence Therapy gives us a way to bring these emotional truths into the light, making the implicit explicit. When people can see the juxtapositions or mismatches between what they consciously believe and what their inner emotional world holds as true, real transformation becomes possible. Tori and I also talk about the elegance in the language and pacing of Internal Family Systems. Both of us have found that integration of models invites a more complete picture to understand how our inner systems are structured, and how we can heal trauma. If you have ever felt stuck in the same emotional patterns, or sensed that something deeper is guiding your reactions, this conversation offers insight into what is going on in your mind and how it connects to your emotional history. This episode is an invitation to turn toward all of it with compassion. #EmpoweredThroughCompassion #IFS #InternalFamilySystems #CoherenceTherapy #TraumaHealing #SomaticTherapy #EmotionalLearning #PartsWork #SelfLeadership #MindBodyConnection #TherapistLife #HealingJourney #ToriOlds #PodcastEpisode #NeuroscienceAndTrauma #PresentMomentHealing

Send us a textEver wish you could quiet the story in your head without having to relive it? We sit down with Marine veteran and defense-tech CEO Tony Crescenzo to explore a practical, science-backed way to downshift the nervous system using neuroacoustic entrainment. Tony opens up about the years he spent running hot—rage, hypervigilance, and fractured sleep—and how a targeted audio protocol shifted his sleep from barely restorative to deeply replenishing. The conversation gets real about why so many first responders and veterans avoid talk therapy, and how culturally aware approaches can make all the difference.We break down the sleep architecture behind feeling human again. Slow wave sleep restores the body; REM sleep stabilizes emotion and consolidates memory. Tony shares research showing meaningful gains in both, along with a 9% boost in threat recognition—vital for police, fire, EMS, dispatchers, and military communities where seconds matter. You'll hear how suppressing the prefrontal “rumination engine” while opening the anterior cingulate, parietal, and occipital regions enables somatic processing: the body digests stress so the mind can stand down.Then we zoom out to cognitive resilience—the brain's ability to adapt quickly under pressure. Using EEG-guided and AI-personalized protocols, entrainment builds coherence front-to-back and left-to-right, easing brain fog and improving metabolic efficiency. The result is a steadier baseline, faster recovery after spikes, and sleep that actually repairs. If you've been stuck between white-knuckle coping and sterile clinical answers, this is a credible path you can start at home, including free app tracks for power naps, rumination relief, and sleep support.How to reach Jonathan: 1) https://www.IntelligentWaves.com 2) https://www.PeakNeuro.com3) https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonycrescenzo/Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

The salient point of this podcast episode centers on the exploration of healing from trauma and the dynamics of codependency, as articulated by Dr. Nima Rahmani, a chiropractor turned expert in relational healing. In our dialogue, we delve into the intricate relationship between unresolved trauma and the manifestations of emotional distress in adult relationships. Dr. Rahmani elucidates how our childhood experiences shape our attachment styles, influencing our interactions with partners and perpetuating cycles of anxiety and avoidance. He advocates for a transformative approach to understanding and mitigating these patterns, emphasizing that true healing involves becoming aware of and addressing the underlying triggers that govern our emotional responses. As we engage in this insightful conversation, we aim to equip our listeners with the knowledge and tools necessary to foster healthier, more secure relationships..Links referenced in this episode:codependentme.orgcodependentmeutlook.com
In this Super Human Life masterclass, Coach Frank Rich brings you a powerful compilation from three of our most impactful conversations with Annie Yatch — trauma expert, entrepreneur, and founder of NorthStar Leadership. Across these deep and revealing clips, Annie breaks down how unresolved trauma shapes who we love, how we lead, and the life we build. She unpacks the hidden ways our childhood stories, nervous system, and subconscious beliefs are running the show — influencing our relationships, businesses, and even our sense of purpose. Whether you're a high-performing man, an entrepreneur, or a husband trying to lead with strength and compassion, this masterclass will show you how to recognize the role trauma plays in your patterns — and how to turn that pain into power. Annie's frameworks bridge trauma healing, nervous-system regulation, and masculine/feminine polarity, offering practical tools for staying calm in conflict, leading your relationships from grounded strength, and finally finding freedom from the chaos that once defined you. If you've ever felt stuck in the same emotional cycles, struggled to stay present with your partner, or wondered why success still doesn't feel fulfilling — this episode will help you connect the dots between your inner story and your external world. Expect To Learn The hidden role of trauma in attraction: why we're subconsciously drawn to partners who mirror our childhood wounds. How trauma distorts polarity: what happens when feminine energy leans into masculine control, and how to restore balance and safety in love. Reading relationship dynamics: signs your wife or girlfriend is operating too much from her masculine — and what to do about it. How to stay calm and neutral in conflict: the mindset and nervous-system tools to respond instead of react. Integrating your masculine and feminine sides: how real strength comes from emotional awareness and internal balance. Why entrepreneurs are addicted to chaos: understanding trauma-driven success and the addiction to adrenaline, crisis, and control. The story that runs your life: how your subconscious childhood narrative shapes your relationships, business, and reality. Why men struggle with vulnerability: the link between safety, emotional connection, and masculine openness. Healing for young men: how men in their 20s can start connecting heart and mind to break generational cycles. Annie's personal story: her journey from trauma to transformation and how it shaped her work in leadership and coaching. How trauma becomes calling: turning pain into purpose by rewriting the story that once held you captive. Victimhood vs. ownership: how unhealed trauma breeds a victim mindset — and how to break free. Trauma, the subconscious, and your nervous system: why your body remembers what your mind tries to forget. Gut health and trauma: how your microbiome affects mood, emotional regulation, and healing. Finding your calling in life: connecting your greatest pain to your God-given purpose. Love & leadership in partnership: how to build a business with your spouse without losing intimacy or polarity. The biggest lies we tell ourselves about relationships — and how truth sets us free. Guest Bio — Annie Yatch Annie Yatch is a trauma-informed performance coach, speaker, and founder of NorthStar Leadership School, where she helps entrepreneurs and high-performing leaders heal the unconscious trauma that limits their relationships, leadership, and success. After building multiple seven-figure businesses, Annie turned her focus toward helping others break free from self-sabotage, emotional disconnection, and chaos addiction — guiding them to lead with clarity, compassion, and balance. --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/ Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

The episode features a Nate Fisher, a former police officer whose journey from despair to purpose shines a light on the struggles many first responders and veterans face after years of service. “When my police partner was killed, everything changed,” he recalls. “He was a rookie, and I was the one training him. Seeing his lifeless body broke something inside me.” Look for supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . A Spiral Into Darkness, Horses for Healing Trauma: Former Police Officer Speaks. The trauma of that moment compounded years of emotional strain from both law enforcement and military service. His marriage began to crumble, and the burden of grief became unbearable. “I didn't know how to cope,” he admitted. “I started self-medicating with alcohol and other destructive behaviors. It felt like there was no way out.” As the darkness grew, suicidal thoughts began to take hold. One day, he reached the breaking point and attempted to end his life. “The only reason I'm still here is because my handgun jammed,” he said. “That failure turned out to be the reason I got a second chance.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Finding Hope Through Horses That second chance came through an unexpected source, horses. Introduced to equine care by a new girlfriend, he discovered that working with horses provided a peace he hadn't felt in years. “At first, I didn't understand it,” he said. “But horses don't judge. They sense your emotions. When I was angry, they pulled away. When I was calm, they came closer. They made me face what I was running from.” Through consistent work with horses, he began to rebuild trust, patience, and emotional control. “The horses taught me to breathe again,” he said. “They helped me find purpose.” Today, he shares his message through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, helping others in law enforcement and the military confront PTSD and seek healing.

This form of therapy involves working with horses in a supportive, structured environment to promote emotional recovery and personal growth.

Research published in the "Journal of Clinical Psychiatry" and led by Drs. Yuval Neria and Prudence Fisher of Columbia University's "Man O' War Project" found that equine therapy can significantly reduce PTSD and depression symptoms in veterans. Dr. Neria explains, “Both PTSD patients and horses are preoccupied with ongoing concerns about trust and safety. This innovative therapy facilitates bonding, overcoming fear, and re-establishing confidence. One must build trust with a horse for it to warm to you.” A separate study cited by "Psychiatrist.com" showed remarkable results in veterans who participated in an eight-session Equine-Assisted Therapy for PTSD program. Among 63 participants, 50% showed clinically significant improvement in symptoms that continued months after treatment ended. How Horses Heal Trauma, Horses for Healing Trauma: Former Police Officer Speaks. Horses have an extraordinary ability to mirror human emotions. For trauma survivors, this connection can be life-changing. The benefits of equine therapy for PTSD include: Reduced symptoms: Studies show fewer flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance. Improved emotional regulation: Horses provide a safe, non-judgmental space for emotional growth. Increased self-esteem and confidence: Caring for a horse can restore a sense of purpose and control. Enhanced social connection: Working with horses encourages communication and trust-building. Mindfulness and grounding: Being in the moment with a horse helps individuals stay centered and calm. A Mission to Help Others Nate Fisher, the former officer's story isn't just about survival, it's about transformation. “I thought my life was over,” he says. “Now, every day I get to help others find the same peace I found through horses.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. His podcast appearances and outreach work are dedicated to raising awareness about trauma recovery, PTSD, and the healing potential of equine therapy. Through his message, he hopes to reach others who may feel lost or hopeless. “People think asking for help is weakness,” he said. “But it's the bravest thing you can do. If horses can help save someone like me, they can help anyone.” Horses for Healing Trauma: Former Police Officer Speaks.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Angele Close, a clinical psychologist, motherhood coach, and certified mindfulness meditation teacher. Her work weaves together Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and matrescence to help mothers reconnect with themselves and embrace the process of becoming. She opens up about her own season of disconnection in early motherhood and how discovering IFS helped her find language, clarity, and compassion for the parts within. Her upcoming book, Unburdening Motherhood: A Guide to Breaking Cycles, Healing Trauma, and Becoming a Self-Led Mom, offers that same roadmap to others. Together, we explore the parts that push us to be the "good mom," the ones that try to do it all, and how IFS can help us lead ourselves and our families with more Self Energy. In this conversation, we explore: Matrescence is the process of becoming a mom, and why naming it matters The "good mom" parts that push us to do it all How IFS helps mothers understand the parts activated by parenting The tension between control, exhaustion, and letting go What happens when protectors soften and play, pleasure, and community return Whether you're a parent, therapist, or simply curious about how our systems respond to change, this conversation is a gentle invitation to lead with more Self energy in every season of life. About Dr. Angele Close Angele Close is a clinical psychologist, motherhood coach, and certified mindfulness meditation teacher.

Her work is deeply guided by Internal Family Systems, which she describes as "a roadmap for understanding ourselves, addressing our pain, and finding a pathway to healing."

I cannot tell you how much I love this book, and I know you will too.Dr. Angele is also the mom of 3 teenagers and shares how, as they entered elementary age, parenting got really tough for her. Her oldest child is neurodiverse, and traditional ways of parenting just weren't really working anymore. Everyone (including Dr. Angele) was having a lot of big feelings, and she found herself becoming really self–critical and hard on herself. Emotion-focused therapy, mindfulness, and meditation were her profession, but as a mom she felt like she was losing her mind. This led to seeking out help and support, learning about the concept of matrescence, and discovering the Internal Family Systems model. As she healed herself and gained some traction in her personal life, she quickly realized she needed to share it with other moms. What is Matrescence?The word “matrescence” was conceptualized by an anthropologist Dana Raphael in the 1970s. She was interested in what happens to women when they become mothers. It turns out that mothers go through a significant, profound transformation of identity, similar to in adolescence. It changes every aspect of our lives - emotionally, physically, hormonally, spiritually, our roles, and our careers. Dr. Angele says, “Some people will say it's only the first few years of motherhood. That's not been my experience. To me, it's lifelong. Our relationship to our children and our identity are forever tied.”These transformations can happen at different stages of motherhood. For me, one of those times was when my youngest started kindergarten. I'd lost myself in the previous 7 years of parenting, and I didn't even know who I was or what I liked anymore. When you realize that you're in a transition like that, it's an opportunity to redefine yourself, your career, whatever it is that feels like it's shifting. And whoever you become in that transition is okay. We don't have to make ourselves wrong for any of it.The other piece that is acknowledged in matrescence is that through motherhood, anything we haven't healed or dealt with from our own childhoods will get reactivated. Finally! A concept that lets us see motherhood as a process. To recognize that we've changed, and that's okay. The “Good Mom” MythDr. Angele says that a key focus of her...

It's a powerful conversation about resilience, emotional health, and the courage it takes to heal from the inside out.The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service.

I invited my friend Sigourney Belle to explore the real transformation that happens when we move from maiden to mother—and why it's a physiological, neurological, and spiritual awakening. Together we name the power of matrescence, the rise of heightened instinct, and the shadow of fear that can surface in pregnancy. Sigourney shares how unexpected challenges late in her pregnancy dismantled old structures, and how she rebuilt her life with deeper trust in her body's wisdom—ultimately birthing Soma Mystica as a bridge between modern medicine and mystical insight.We go deep into somatic healing: what field intelligence feels like in real time, why co-regulation and therapeutic touch matter, and how practitioners must master state entrainment so their nervous systems become safe, attuned instruments. I share the practices I lean on to anchor presence, while Sigourney offers trauma-informed perspectives that make intuition practical—so we can listen to the body's signals without getting swept by them.From parenting to education, we explore cultivating a child's unique genius, unshaming early body education, and making aligned schooling choices—from Steiner to Green School Bali. We talk about raising embodied, sovereign kids who can sense their own boundaries and creativity, and how intuitive leadership at home starts with our capacity to feel, name, and navigate our inner states.Sigourney also opens up about co-parenting, dating after birth, and building a slower, more strategic business that supports motherhood and creativity. This conversation is an invitation to widen what we believe is possible—inside our bodies, our relationships, and the ecosystems we steward—so that healing becomes not just personal, but profoundly relational and generational.

MARIYA JAVED-PAYNE, MSW, LICSW, LADC is a somatic psychotherapist specializing in healing trauma, complex trauma, addiction, generational and racial trauma, and oppression in the body. She is both a practitioner and teacher of “Brainspotting” a powerful technique in healing trauma. Mariya says, “I am a woman. I am a body of culture. I am a person in recovery. I am an immigrant. I am a student of life. I am a partner, educator, sister, daughter, and friend. I am a passionate and curious individual dedicated to creating health and wellness for individuals, communities, and societies. I believe in deep, nourishing, and holistic change that heals from the roots up.” I was born in India and lived in France, Brazil, and the United States all before the age of six. My experience with vastly different cultures piqued my curiosity about humans and diverse societies from a young age. Blending and assimilating my culture of origin with the United States has been and continues to be an integral part of my story. It has also shaped my ability to assist others in reclaiming their identities as multi-dimensional and complex human beings. These early life experiences in global societies defined my open worldview and appreciation for the diverse walks of life that humanity encompasses. I am grateful for the expansiveness they have provided my foundation. My own journey with addiction and my challenging path to recovery over ten years ago has also given me depth and compassion as a therapist. I gained a firsthand understanding of the quest of the human mind to find a sense of belonging and settledness in an ever-shifting world. These experiences have given me the ability to approach all people with openness, non-judgment, and patience. They have also taught me to be tenacious in my pursuit of healing self and others. Hope is a powerful survival mechanism. www.awakenconsultingservices.com

The body's alarm system can get stuck on high when chronic pain and persistent symptoms take over, and we give that pattern a name: sensitization trauma. We unpack how symptoms, scary medical opinions, and hope-disappointment cycles teach the nervous system to brace, avoid, and shut down—and why recognizing this isn't a setback, it's a turning point.We start by defining sensitization trauma as the trauma caused by the onset, progression, and life impacts of chronic symptoms, then walk through three distinct stages: the frantic “fixing” phase, the spread-and-avoidance phase where anxiety and associations multiply, and the shutdown phase marked by fatigue, collapse, and the belief that “my body is broken.” Along the way, we spotlight medical trauma—conflicting diagnoses, poor communication, invalidation, and procedures that fail to help—and the telltale signs: pre-appointment anxiety, flares after visits, avoidance of care, and fight/flight/freeze in the exam room. If you've felt “hoped out,” you're not alone, and there's a path forward.Our framework rests on four pillars: education that reframes symptoms as neuroplastic and responsive to safety; safety-building practices in everyday life and medical contexts; regulation tools like grounding, orienting, and somatic tracking to calm arousal without glossing over reality; and trauma processing. We also talk sequencing—why some folks need to front-load safety and regulation before brain retraining—and share real-world examples of graded exposure to appointments, movements, and activities.If this conversation resonates, follow, share, and leave a review to help others find it—and tell us: which stage are you in, and what's one small safety step you'll take this week?Tanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson are therapists who treat neuroplastic pain and mind-body symptoms. They are also married! In his 20s, Tanner overcame chronic pain and a fibromyalgia diagnosis by learning his symptoms were occurring due to learned brain pathways and nervous system dysregulation. Post-healing, Tanner and Anne have dedicated their lives to developing effective treatment and education for neuroplastic pain and symptoms.

Listen as I reveal which foods never really expire. https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/long-term-food-storage-staples-that-last-forever/ AI tools like ChatGPT are everywhere, but to use them well, you need more than just clear questions.

Why we are often conditioned to choose ourselves late in life and the profound impact this has on our well-being. A powerful mindset for reframing past trauma so that you define it, instead of it defining you. The importance of accountability and why you must be willing to "carry your own backpack" to do the real healing work.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trauma therapist Estefana Johnson shares what makes CMI unique, how it differs from other trauma modalities like EMDR, why our nervous system often overrides logic, and how tuning into ‘signals' — rather than symptoms — can transform healing. (00:00) Introduction to CMI — what Critical Memory Integration is and how it reframes “symptoms” as “signals.” (03:45) Difference Between CMI and EMDR — how CMI diverges from EMDR in theory, process, and focus on organic experience processing. (08:20) The Roots and Creation of CMI — how the model emerged from integrating multiple trauma modalities into one cohesive approach. (11:10) Present-Day Focus — why CMI starts with current discomfort rather than diving directly into past memories. (14:25) The Mind vs. the Nervous System — why mindset alone isn't enough and how the nervous system shapes perception and healing. (18:40) Understanding “Critical Memories” — what makes some memories so influential and how they form lifelong behavioral patterns. (22:15) Beyond “Big T” and “Small T” Trauma — why trauma categories are subjective and how CMI honors each person's lived experience. (26:00) The CMI Process — how clinicians assess tolerance for discomfort and guide clients through following body-based signals. (33:10) A Self-Guided CMI Practice — a simple exercise for tuning into sensations and emotions with curiosity and compassion. (40:00) Integration, Compassion, and Regulation — the role of self-compassion, co-regulation, and practical tools like breathwork in healing.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Aimie Apigian, author of “The Biology of Trauma: How the Body Holds Fear, Pain, and Overwhelm, and How to Heal It.”
Dr. Aimie Apigian, author of “The Biology of Trauma: How the Body Holds Fear, Pain, and Overwhelm, and How to Heal It,” details how unaddressed trauma is often the hidden cause of many preventable illnesses and is linked to eight of the ten leading causes of death. The conversation delves into the physiological responses to trauma, the mechanisms by which trauma can manifest in chronic physical ailments, and the importance of incorporating a holistic approach that includes addressing mental, somatic, and biological impacts of trauma. Dr. Apigian also shares insights from her personal journey and professional evolution, emphasizing the need for a combination of medical treatment and trauma work for optimal health.
Heather McKean interviews Vicki Durfee who shares how addressing buried trauma unlocked profound changes in her body and life. After years of interstitial cystitis procedures every 3–4 months, chronic pain, and weight gain, Vicki discovered Mind Change, began with the book and a small group, and eventually flew to a private retreat during 2020. As she released shame and fear, her triggers calmed, her marriage came alive, and she shed 65 pounds without “dieting”—guided instead by self-worth. If you've “tried everything,” wonder whether your symptoms are tied to old wounds, and are finally ready to choose yourself, this conversation offers a hopeful, practical roadmap for true healing.What we cover in this episode:

Can depression be healed without antidepressants? Josh Trent welcomes Pixie Acia, Spiritual Wellness Coach, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 771, to share how nutraceuticals helped her transition off 15 years of antidepressants, why trauma shows up in our bodies until we face it, and how breathwork, community, and cycle-breaking practices can unlock healing far beyond pharmaceuticals. Nutraceuticals from Altrient (LivOn Labs) In order to repair the structural damage caused by a continual barrage of toxic substances and pathogens, your body requires a constant supply of phospholipids. Whilst humans can synthesise some phospholipid compounds, others are sourced from food. Phospholipids that are obtained from the diet are called ‘essential phospholipids'. The liposomes used in Altrient products are made from essential phospholipids that include a high percentage of Phosphatidylcholine (PC). These liposomes not only provide optimum protection and transport, but they also satisfy the body's need for PC, omega-6 fatty acids, and choline. Now Altrient has taken the power of LET out of the laboratory and put it into your hands. It's why Altrient products are so effective. High-performance nutrients delivering enhanced absorption! Try it for yourself In This Episode, Pixie Acia Uncovers: [01:10] Nutraceuticals: Natural + More Efficient than Anti-Depressants The role of nutraceuticals in treating depression. Why Pixie spent 15 years on depression medications. How liposomal applications help us absorb 80-90% of nutrients from a supplement. Why nutraceuticals provide clarity and allow us to feel our emotions more than antidepressants. How nutraceuticals affect both the brain and the gut. Why depression is a combination of trauma and imbalances in the brain. We can't heal from depression with just one practice. Resources: Pixie Acia LivOn Labs (Altrient) [07:30] Does a Vegan Diet Cause More Harm than Good? How a vegan diet ruined Pixie's health. Why she attached her identity to being vegan and stopped listening to her body. How she switched to a carnivore diet to feel better. Resources: The Effects of Vegan Diet on Fetus and Maternal Health [12:50] The Gift in Traumatic Experiences Why we care about what other people think about us based on evolution. How trauma took Pixie's innocence and childhood. Why tattooing her body was a trauma response. How she channelled her trauma to help others. Why Pixie learned to detach from her body when she was abused. How forgiveness can help us let go. [19:10] Healed People Heal People How healed people heal other people. Why Pixie believes she went through her trauma for a reason. How her traumatic experience has helped her help others move through their trauma. [22:30] The Healing Power of Breathwork How breathwork helps us connect with our body. Why breathwork allowed Pixie to free herself from her traumatic sexual past. How breathwork can open us to new dimensions. Why we can get downloads from breathwork sessions. What led her to change her name from Amber to Pixie. [29:30] Why Do You Chase Dopamine? How the body is always looking for safety. Why Pixie attracted the same type of men until she healed her wounds. How chasing dopamine is a trauma response.

How human connection will become more valuable. What it means to be a safe container for others. How people come up against their projections and beliefs when they go to a retreat. Why when you let people see us, we become more lovable. [49:35] The Catalyst for Change What happened and why it happened doesn't truly matter.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts All Resources From This Episode Pixie Acia LivOn Labs (Altrient) The Effects of Vegan Diet on Fetus and Maternal Health Michael Edward Johnson's Latch Theory The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk Power Quotes From Pixie Acia "What is repressed will eventually get expressed as depression or disease." — Pixie Acia "If you suffer from depression, you need nutraceuticals. They help not just build the foundational blocks in the brain, but also in the gut, affecting the serotonin and giving you the essential support that it needs to not be depressed." — Pixie Acia "Your nervous system is looking for familiar situations to identify whether it's safe or not. When we're used to repressing it, we aren't listening to the body to know if we're safe or not. And then we'll end up finding ourselves in similar situations again." — Pixie Acia
What if your biggest block to peace was actually trying to protect you? In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with bestselling author and spiritual teacher Gabby Bernstein for a heartfelt conversation on healing, self-trust, and what it really means to surrender. Together, we explore the hidden protectors within us — like perfectionism, control, and overachieving — and how they often block our access to deeper faith and freedom. Gabby shares her personal journey of trauma recovery, spiritual awakening, and how Internal Family Systems (IFS) helped her return to her true self. We talk about spiritual bypassing, the difference between doing the work and being in it, and why compassion — not pressure — is the path to lasting transformation. You'll leave with a simple 4-step practice to reconnect with your inner safety, soften your inner critic, and begin manifesting from a grounded sense of self.
