  • Understanding CPTSD: A Guide for the People Who Love Us
    Jan 3 2025
    This special episode is designed for the partners, friends, and family members of those living with CPTSD. If someone you care about has shared this with you, it’s because they trust you and want to invite you into their healing journey. In this episode, I break down what CPTSD is, how it affects relationships, and why certain emotional responses – like shutting down or pulling away – might happen.

    We’ll explore how trauma shapes the brain, why trust can feel fragile, and how to offer support during flashbacks or dissociation. I’ll also provide practical tools to help you reconnect after difficult moments and build long-term patterns of trust and safety. Whether you're starting to date someone with CPTSD or deepening an existing relationship, this episode offers insight and guidance to help you show up with empathy and understanding.

    Healing doesn’t happen alone – it happens in connection. By being here, you’re already making a difference.

    Next week’s episode will explore the neuroscience behind CPTSD and how trauma affects the brain.

  • Flashbacks and Dissociation: How to Stay Grounded
    Jan 3 2025
    In this week’s Friday Healing episode, we’re diving into the challenging experiences of flashbacks and dissociation – two of the most disorienting symptoms of CPTSD. I’ll guide you through understanding why these responses happen, what’s going on in your brain and body, and, most importantly, how to gently bring yourself back to the present.

    We’ll explore practical grounding techniques like sensory exercises, breathwork, and visualization – simple tools you can use to stay anchored when flashbacks or dissociation strike. Plus, we’ll talk about how to create a grounding routine and build long-term resilience to reduce the frequency and intensity of these episodes over time.

    If you’ve ever felt powerless in the face of overwhelming memories or the sense of detachment that comes with dissociation, this episode is for you. You are not alone, and healing is possible – one grounding breath at a time.

    Join me as we make sense of this together.

    Next week, we’ll dive into building external support systems and finding community on the healing journey.
