In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Dr. Patricia Timerman Barbosa da Silva—psychotherapist, educator, and survivor—joins us to talk about the healing journey for trauma survivors. With over 12 years of experience in individual, couples, and family therapy, Dr. T offers compassionate, real-world insight into what it actually takes to heal from deep emotional wounds, including the lingering impact of psychological, physical, and emotional abuse.
Drawing from her own experience as a survivor of suicide grief and anxiety, Dr. T introduces her signature IAP Model (Intention, Action, Perception)—a practical tool she calls the “Google Translate” of communication. She explains how this model helps trauma survivors find their voice, rebuild relationships, and move forward with clarity and self-awareness.
Dr. T also shares her favorite grounding strategies, how to deal with the fear of vulnerability, and why healing often begins with small, brave steps.
