Identifying, Understanding, & Healing Abuse and Dysfunction in Relationships with Nadine Macaluso

In Episode #45, I am sharing my conversation with Dr. Nadine Macaluso, a licensed marriage and family therapist in private practice. We talk about Identifying, Understanding, and Healing Abuse and Dysfunction in Relationship. Trained in NARM and Somatic psychotherapy, Nadine emphasizes the mind-body connection when working with couples and individuals. Her personal and clinical expertise is in complex trauma, attachment, trauma bonds and narcissism. Dr. Nadine is also the ex-wife to the infamous Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belfort. And. She uses her personal experience and her professional expertise to help others end or heal abusive relationships and find the strength to create something better and healthier. We discuss-

Setting strong boundaries as a defence against abuse and to nurture our relationships.
