Are you feeling trapped in a relationship where love feels more like pain, inconsistency, and power struggles?

Have you ever found yourself questioning your own worth because of a loved one’s manipulative or abusive behavior?

In this episode, Dr. Nadine provides you with insight, validation, tools to help you reclaim control, and so much more.

✅ Trauma Bonds are based on an imbalance of power.

✅ The abuse of power is abuse

✅ Parents inherently have more power and resources than children so seduction is not necessary to trap them

✅ Eradicating the shame of staying in an abusive relationship for too long

✅ How substance abuse exacerbates an already abusive/narcissistic personality

✅ Codependency makes the victim think there is something wrong with them they need to fix, rather than looking at what an abuser needs to fix

✅ Starting over

✅ Redefining yourself after abuse

✅ Stopping the marital/divorce pain from destroying your children

Dr. Nadine Macaluso, known to her patients as Dr. Nae, is the real-life inspiration behind Naomi Belfort's character in "The Wolf of Wall Street." She survived a turbulent eight-year marriage to Jordan Belfort, marked by abuse, greed, and trauma.

Following her experiences, Dr. Macaluso relocated to California. Her journey of trauma and healing inspired her to return to school at age 39, where she earned her Master's in counseling and Ph.D. in somatic psychotherapy. She further specialized with a two-year postdoctoral training in the Neuro-affective Relational Model (NARM).

As a therapist, Dr. Macaluso combines her education and personal experiences to help others heal from trauma. Her practice focuses on assisting patients in connecting with their authentic selves, fostering confidence, resilience, and agency. Dr. Macaluso firmly believes in the potential for post-traumatic growth, instilling hope in her patients and guiding them to reach their potential in life and love.
