In this soul-baring episode of Scary Calm, Lisa Lacy pulls back the curtain on a haunting reality few discuss—night terrors as a symptom of Complex PTSD. From waking at 3 a.m. in silent panic to the long shadow of trauma stored in the nervous system, Lisa explores how sleep can become both battleground and portal.

With raw vulnerability and grounded wisdom, she shares her personal experience of surviving childhood trauma, addiction, and the long road of recovery—where even rest must be relearned.

But this episode isn’t just about pain. It’s about possibility.
Through a trauma-informed lens, Lisa reveals how dreaming—yes, even the nightmares—can serve as a sacred tool for subconscious healing, emotional integration, and soul retrieval.

Whether you’ve lived through sleepless nights or love someone who has, this is an invitation to meet the darkness with compassion—and to remember: the veil may be thin, but you are not alone.

For those who walk the path of healing, even in their sleep—this one’s for you.
