Honest reflections at the end of Season 1. Why 90% of trauma work isn't what you'd expect, why not everything is that deep, and why the brain's capacity to heal still feels like a miracle.

Why swinging to the opposite extreme keeps you stuck, and how to find the belief you can actually buy into.

Most of us have the nurturing side of self-parenting covered. But good parenting has a fiercer side too. Five signs you might be accidentally skipping it, and what to do instead.

Ever had an angry reaction that felt too big for the moment? A simple body-based technique for discharging anger, plus the road rage story that took me from raging to sobbing in minutes, and why that's exactly what was meant to happen.

We all judge. We all hate that we judge (we even judge the judgement!). But judgment is usually a defence mechanism pointing to something painful underneath. A short episode on using judgment as a compass, not an enemy.

You might feel worse before you feel better. But feeling worse isn't the same as getting worse. I discuss two reasons trauma therapy can feel harder before things shift, and why that's usually a green flag.

Not all trauma comes from severe upbringings. Sometimes it comes from loving parents who never repaired after a relationship rupture. Here's the small change that can change how your child feels about themselves after conflict.

Chronic case of the guilts? You have too much pie. Here's a framework for figuring out exactly how much responsibility is actually yours.

Your intentions are important, but your impact matters more.

I unpack why understanding someone's pain doesn't give them a free pass for harmful behaviour, and why accountability isn't the opposite of compassion, it's part of it.

You’ve probably heard it described as “the eye movement thing,” or wondered whether someone just waves their fingers around and your trauma magically disappears. (Spoiler: it’s a tad more complex than that.)
