Learning to Feel Safe Again: My Complex Trauma Toolbox

Living with Complex PTSD can feel overwhelming, and it’s easy to get lost in the idea that healing requires us to “fix everything” about ourselves. In this episode, I share six of the most supportive tools I’ve used in working with my own CPTSD, not as a protocol, but as a collection of practices, insights, and shifts that have helped me come home to myself and support my clients. Together, we’ll explore: Why developing a gentle inner parent changes everything. What happened when I stopped fighting my body. Simple ways to orient to safety and beauty in the world around you. The role of somatic tracking in understanding past vs. present. How to tell the difference between trauma responses and inherent traits. The books and teachings that shaped my healing journey. You’ll also hear about the external steps I had to take: leaving the religion I grew up in, coming out of the closet, and stepping back from certain relationships, and why nervous system regulation alone isn’t enough if our environment is unsafe. This isn’t about doing everything at once. It’s about the next step.
