When you weren’t loved properly as a child, your brain will tell you that the first person who is kind to you is the ONE, and you have to be with them, and you have to be with them NOW. CPTSD and attachment wounds can push you to attach instantly with someone you don’t even know. And often, after you’ve lost all boundaries, you start to see that the other person is NOT what you thought. But your attachment wound will keep you from leaving, and keep you blaming yourself for why THEY treat you so badly! In this video, I respond to a letter from a woman who rushed into a relationship and is now left alone and in pain. Hear why it's so important to heal this tendency and come back to reality.

One thing trauma experts don’t talk about enough is the connection between growing up with trauma – and UNDER-EARNING. This is a huge problem for so many of us with CPTSD.

In this video, I’m sharing one of the most popular videos in my archive that lists 10 ways past trauma can hold your income down, and what you can do right now to change that forever.

If you're rebuilding your life after trauma, you may have experienced "Productivity Crashes" -- my term for when you emotionally collapse (and often physically retreat) after big, courageous accomplishments. Too often, people with CPTSD struggle to follow up on their successes; or get stuck in "freeze mode" for long spells, or avoid advancing their careers because it feels too overwhelming. In this 4-video compilation, I share four of my most popular videos of trauma's impact on productivity. Are You Dysregulated?

Abuse and violence are crimes, but having your own opinion is an essential part of trauma healing. Those who grew up with narcissistic abuse were forced to conform, comply. People who "cancel" others almost always think they are doing something heroic for the benefit of others. But in fact, cancel culture is a game run by narcissists, where destroying other people -- at any cost -- is a source of self-worth and status. In this video I teach why cancel culture is self-perpetuating, rewarding those who participate and threatening those who leave with the very sort of attack they once led upon others. The only way to stop it is to refuse to take part and instead defend those who are slandered. I'll teach you how.
