What happens when the very treatment meant to help you ends up harming you? In this powerful episode of Healarious, hosts Amy Redbird and Theresa Benson sit down with Angela (Angie) Peacock, a combat veteran, withdrawal coach, and van-lifer, to discuss the raw realities of PTSD, benzodiazepine withdrawal, and medical gaslighting.
Angie opens up about her years-long battle with benzo withdrawal, the lack of recognition from the medical community, and how she rebuilt her life through community support, van life, and alternative healing. The conversation dives deep into the struggles of nervous system dysregulation, the power of nature in healing, and reclaiming body confidence through safe nudity.
Plus, Amy shares a profound realization about birdsongs and trauma, Theresa explores the paradox of healing vs. resting, and the trio has an honest discussion about safety, masculinity, and what it means to truly feel at home in your body.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating trauma recovery, benzodiazepine withdrawal, or seeking a fresh perspective on healing. Laughter and deep truths collide—because sometimes, the only way through is to find the humor in it all.
