In this episode, Sarah sits down with therapist and founder Shakira (Kira) O’Garro to talk about her powerful journey through endometriosis, medical gaslighting, and reclaiming trust in her body. Together, they explore how trauma responses like shutdown and fawning show up in medical settings, the importance of somatic healing, and the transformative power of community and faith.
Whether you’ve experienced medical trauma yourself or support others on their journey, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, validated, and hopeful. Please share this episode with anyone who would benefit, the more we share, the more we spread awareness of medical trauma as well as the awareness that we can recover.
