In this episode, Marta explores trauma, the nervous system, and the body’s remarkable capacity to adapt, protect, and heal.

Through grounded psychology, nervous system science, and deeply human reflection, this conversation reframes trauma as an incomplete survival response — not a personal failing. Marta unpacks how early adaptations shape our anxiety, relationships, coping strategies, and sense of safety, and why healing must involve the body, not just insight or talk.

Drawing from the work of Irene Lyon, Gabor Maté, and Dr. Becky Kennedy, this episode offers a compassionate lens on functional freeze, addiction, emotional patterns, and why so many of us learned to trade authenticity for attachment.

This is a slow, spacious conversation about coming home to the body, building capacity for safety, and learning — gently — that the danger has passed.
It’s an invitation to stop performing safety and begin to feel it, one step at a time.
