Have you ever felt like your healing was working, only to fall back into old patterns, leaving you discouraged and wondering if you’ll ever make progress?

In this episode, I share the truth about why CPTSD healing can look like regression, why it’s different from the deeper cycles of resolution, and how to know the difference. You’ll learn what it means to reclaim your seat of power when protective parts or old energies take over, and why these moments don’t mean you’re broken; they’re actually invitations to deeper healing.

In this episode you’ll learn: ✦ Why “healing is not linear” is true but incomplete ✦ How to tell the difference between a regression and a resolution cycle ✦ The role of protective Parts, Entities, and energetics in setbacks ✦ Why CPTSD Medicine requires accountability, structure, and tight containers ✦ What it looks like to reclaim your seat of power and keep moving forward

Do you ever find yourself stuck in endless loops about your ex?  As you are falling asleep, you are replaying conversations. While you are going for a run, you are replaying conversations. Any moment of downtime, there you are replaying conversations and wondering what you could have done differently, or feeling like a ghost of that relationship still haunts your heart.

If you live with CPTSD, this is not about weakness or willpower. Ex-partner obsession and rumination are one of the most common ways unresolved trauma shows up in love. Every student I work with has felt it. And there is a reason it happens, and a way out.

In this episode, I share why Protective Parts and Hurt Victim Energies keep your system clinging to someone who is gone, how lineage overlays intensify these cycles, and why traditional weekly therapy often wastes years keeping you stuck in the story instead of resolving the root. Most importantly, I’ll show you what it looks like to close these loops for good so you can reclaim your energy and finally move forward in love.

In this episode you’ll learn: ✦ Why CPTSD makes it so hard to stop thinking about your ex ✦ How rumination is powered by Protective Parts and Hurt Victim Energies ✦ Why traditional therapy rarely resolves this cycle ✦ What reclaiming your worth and energy looks like when the loop finally ends

This is not about managing symptoms. This is about resolving CPTSD at the root so you can create love that lasts.

Always Feeling Unseen in Your Relationship? The Truth About CPTSD

Do you ever feel invisible in your relationship, like no matter how hard you try, your partner just does not truly see you? This invisibility is confusing, painful, and leaves you questioning your worth.

If you live with CPTSD, this is not your imagination and it is not a flaw in you. Feeling unseen in love is one of the most common and heartbreaking ways trauma shows up in relationships.

In this episode, I share why Protective Parts and Hurt Victim Energies keep you trapped in the cycle of invisibility, why waiting for others to change only prolongs heartbreak, and what it looks like to reclaim your worth from the inside out. You will learn how safe vulnerability with yourself becomes the foundation for relational healing that lasts.

In this episode you’ll learn: ✦ Why CPTSD makes you feel unseen and unheard in love ✦ How protective Parts create the cycle of invisibility ✦ Why waiting to be “saved” by others keeps you stuck ✦ What reclaiming your worth and safe vulnerability looks like

Less invisibility. More truth. Love that lasts.

Successful But Exhausted: Overachieving as a Trauma Response

If you looked at your achievements on paper, no one would guess the truth. But inside your head, or behind closed doors,  it is a very different story.

If you are the human who achieves to survive, this episode is for you. Overachieving is not ambition gone too far. It is a trauma response. It is what happens when CPTSD convinces you that your worth depends on what you produce, how much you give, and whether you hold it all together.

In this episode, I take on overachieving directly and share what is happening internally when workaholism or over-identification with your professional identity takes over. You will learn why relaxing feels impossible, why guilt creeps in when you try, and how to begin breaking this cycle with CPTSD Medicine.

In this episode you’ll learn: ✦ Why overachieving is rooted in survival, not ambition ✦ How CPTSD fuels guilt when you try to rest ✦ Why external success never resolves inner shame ✦ How to start unburdening the trauma energies that drive workaholism

Less proving. More peace. Real freedom.

Why Unworthiness Keeps You Stuck in CPTSD

Do you feel like no matter how much progress you make, something always pulls you back into old CPTSD cycles? At the heart of this pattern is often the unworthiness wound — the deeply ingrained belief that you are not enough.

This wound drives the “above and beyond” survival strategies that leave you exhausted, disconnected, and stuck in painful relationship dynamics. It is also why so many traditional therapies feel like they never quite work.

In this episode, I explain why the unworthiness wound is especially resistant to conventional approaches, and how it intensifies both your own suffering and the burnout therapists often feel when trying to treat CPTSD. Most importantly, I’ll share how to begin gathering your own evidence of what works, so you can finally resolve CPTSD at the root.

In this episode you’ll learn: ✦ Why the unworthiness wound resists conventional therapies ✦ How unworthiness-driven survival strategies intensify relational pain ✦ Why past treatments may have failed to create lasting change ✦ The critical role of gathering your own evidence of effective healing

Less shame. More truth. Genuine healing at the root.

In this episode, I share why standard relationship advice falls flat when CPTSD is at play, and how to finally shift from being trauma-led to True Self-led. You will learn how to reclaim your internal anchor, stop chasing emotionally unavailable partners, and break free from heartbreak cycles once and for all.

In this episode you’ll learn: ✦ Why CPTSD affects romantic relationships in powerful hidden ways ✦ How “I must” trauma energies drive professional success but sabotage intimacy ✦ Why relationships feel unsafe or unstable, no matter how much you try ✦ Practical guidance to stop repeating painful relational cycles

Do you want to heal but feel like you just cannot let people in, not even your therapist, not even the people closest to you?

If you live with CPTSD, this makes perfect sense. Protective walls and fear of vulnerability are natural outcomes of surviving without secure attachment. They keep you safe, but they can also keep you stuck.

In this episode, I share why therapy often feels frustrating when these defenses are active, and why your resistance is not brokenness — it is protection. You will learn how healing begins by cultivating safe vulnerability with yourself first and how that foundation makes relational healing not only possible but inevitable.

In this episode you’ll learn: ✦ Why therapy can stall when CPTSD defenses are strong ✦ How to see resistance as a survival strategy, not a flaw ✦ What safe vulnerability with yourself actually looks like ✦ Foundational practices to begin opening up without fear

Less drama. More genuine security. Finally.
