About this episode

The episode discusses how unhealed trauma influences survival patterns and the healing process through therapy.

We explore how unhealed trauma drives survival patterns (like always needing to perform, please, or achieve), and how recovery/therapy invites nervous system healing, identity reclamation, and self-compassion. With LPC and Podcaster, Cindy Payne.
