In this episode, I sit down with Alisa Gracheva, a psychotherapist specializing in trauma healing. We dive deep into the impact of betrayal on the mind, body, and spirit, exploring the commonalities between different forms of trauma and how they shape our emotional and physiological well-being. Alisa shares her personal journey—moving to a new country alone at 18, experiencing an abusive relationship, and ultimately discovering the tools to heal and thrive.
We discuss the importance of meaning-making in healing, the role of spirituality in recovery, and how to shift from victimhood to empowerment.
