What does healing really feel like after trauma? For Denise, it wasn’t soft or peaceful. It felt like necrosis, like something inside her was dying slowly while the outside world thought she was fine.
In Part One of this honest, vulnerable chat, Denise and I talk about what happens after the trauma. The messy, quiet part no one really prepares you for. We talk about the nervous system, the shame, and how hard it is to trust your own body again when it’s been through hell.
Some of the things we get into:
🦋 Why trauma doesn’t end when the moment is over
🧠 How your body can still feel unsafe even when you’re safe now
💔 What healing actually looks like — especially when it’s not pretty
🗣️ And what happens when you finally say the things you’ve never said out loud
If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling apart while “getting better,” this one’s for you.
