In this episode, Tim and Andy talk with Valerie Rubin about her journey healing from anxiety, trauma, and anxious attachment. She reflects on how childhood, family dynamics, and cultural identity shaped her sense of self and safety. Together, they explore the link between anxiety and shame, the role of spirituality, and how somatic practices like brainspotting support healing. The conversation also touches on boundaries, intuition, and the power of validating lived experience.
