This week, we’re moving beyond the trauma  buzzwords to explain why you feel the way you do and what it really means to begin healing from relational trauma.

You’ll learn:

  • What trauma looks like for daughters of narcissistic and emotionally limited mothers

  • The everyday symptoms of complex trauma (even if you’ve never been diagnosed)

  • How the nervous system responds to childhood trauma and why it’s not your fault

  • A five-phase healing framework that honors your pace and nervous system capacity

  • Why this work starts with your relationship to yourself, before anything else

  • Whether you’re just starting your trauma recovery journey or deep in the process, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a way forward.
