Healing doesn’t start with perfect words; it starts with an honest moment. We open up about the messy middle of recovery from childhood trauma—what it takes to spot fawning and self-sabotage, how to choose a therapist you actually feel safe with, and why telling the truth in the room is the fastest way forward. No jargon, no quick fixes, just clear steps and steady guidance from a survivor who’s still doing the work.

We walk through the resources that save lives—988 for immediate crisis support and the RAINN hotline for confidential help—and then dig into the daily patterns that keep pain in place. You’ll hear how fawning turns you into a chameleon, slowly erasing your sense of self, and how gentle accountability and structured homework help you rebuild identity piece by piece. Expect practical advice for interviewing trauma-informed, EMDR-trained therapists, setting boundaries that keep relationships professional, and creating a simple plan you can start today.

Along the way, we talk about pacing therapy without shame, listening to outside feedback without losing your voice, and reclaiming power by speaking your truth. If therapy feels daunting, we offer smaller first steps: call a hotline, message a trusted friend, or write one change you’ll make in the next 24 hours. Ready to turn terror into traction?
