Listen to Part 1 HERE.
This week, we continue exploring the journey from victimhood toward healing, reclaiming, and becoming the chooser. After betrayal trauma, it can be difficult to trust anyone—including yourself. You may question your intuition, your decisions, your body, your memories, and even your ability to know what is healthy.
In this episode, we explore the Reclaimer and Chooser stages, including:
Discovering what healthy means for you
Separating yourself from your trauma, thoughts, body, and emotions
Learning to trust yourself and have your own back
Recognizing that you have options
Creating a future that isn't dictated by your trauma
You are not your trauma. You can reclaim. You can choose. You can define what healthy looks like for you.
We’d love to hear from you!
