In this episode of the New Ashla Podcast, Mike and Justin explore the complexities of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), discussing how trauma accumulates over time and affects our mental health, relationships, and self-image. They emphasize the importance of shadow work, self-regulation, and building safe connections as essential steps in the healing process. The conversation highlights that healing is not linear, and it requires awareness, compassion, and community support. Ultimately, they convey a message of hope, reminding listeners that no one is beyond redemption and that healing ripples outward, impacting not just the individual but their community as well.

You are not broken; you are not defined by what was done to you.
Hurt people hurt people, but healed people heal people.
You can choose to move beyond your trauma.
Every breath of awareness is an act of healing.
