Ep34. Somatic Safety Session: Releasing Stored Tension

In this Somatic Safety Session, Carrie guides listeners through a gentle practice designed to help release stored tension in the body after betrayal trauma. She explains how trauma often leaves protective patterns of tightness in places like the jaw, shoulders, breath, and belly, and introduces slow micro-movements and vagus nerve support as simple ways to help the body unwind. Through a guided tension scan, small releasing movements, and calming breath and humming exercises, listeners are invited to reconnect with their body and create a little more space, softness, and safety in their nervous system.

Ep33. WYW: Why Do I Keep Picking Partners Who Hurt Me?

Why do we sometimes keep choosing partners who hurt us? In this episode, Carrie and David explore how the nervous system is wired to gravitate toward what feels familiar—even when it isn’t healthy. They unpack how early attachment wounds and the body’s longing for closure can unconsciously pull us back into similar relationship dynamics. Together they explain why this pattern isn’t a character flaw, but a nervous system adaptation, and how healing begins when we build self-trust, grieve old ruptures, and learn to recognize true safety instead of mistaking intensity for connection.

Ep32. Attachment, Self-Trust, and the Body… A Real Betrayal Trauma Healing Story

In this episode, Carrie sits down with former client for a powerful conversation about healing after betrayal trauma and leaving an abusive relationship. Together, they explore why healing often gets harder before it gets easier, how the nervous system protects through dissociation, minimizing, and intellectualizing, and why slowing down… rather than forcing progress… is essential for real change. The client reflects on key breakthroughs, including learning to work with her body, rebuilding attachment and self-trust, and shifting from external validation to a secure relationship with herself. This episode offers grounded insight into somatic healing, betrayal trauma recovery, attachment strategies, and nervous system regulation… along with honest reassurance for anyone in early survival mode. A hopeful reminder runs throughout the conversation… you don’t need all the answers to heal… you can trust your own wings and keep rising.

Ep31. Rumination: Overcoming the Mental Loop After Betrayal

In this episode, Carrie and David unpack why rumination is so common after betrayal… for both the betrayed and the betrayer. They explain how looping thoughts aren’t a sign you’re broken, but a nervous system trying to restore safety, coherence, and control after your world has been shaken. They explore the “open loop” effect that keeps your brain revisiting unanswered questions, the difference between thinking and feeling, and how rumination can sometimes protect you from deeper emotions like grief or shame. Most importantly, they share practical, body-based ways to interrupt the spiral.

Ep30. Somatic Safety Session: When Your System Feels Scattered

Episode Summary:In this month’s Somatic Safety Session, we focus on grounding… especially for moments when your system feels scattered, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your body. Betrayal trauma can pull you up and out of the present moment, leaving you feeling floaty, buzzy, or unanchored. In this gentle, trauma-informed practice, Carrie offers simple education about why this happens in the nervous system, followed by a guided grounding experience using the feet and containment. This session is an invitation to come back inside your body, at your own pace, without forcing calm… just creating a little more support and steadiness than before. You’re reminded throughout that your body leads, you can’t do this wrong, and even the smallest shifts matter.
