Greenberg, licensed clinical psychologist and the director of OCD Associates, to talk about something I've lived with since childhood but only recently learned has a name: rumination OCD. For a long time, I thought rumination was something that happened to me, a side effect of trauma. But Michael's work helped me see that rumination is actually something we do, and if it's something we do, it's something we can stop.

We talk about what rumination is, how it differs from intrusive thoughts, the six engagement patterns that keep rumination going, and how attachment and complex trauma can intensify OCD loops. This conversation opened my eyes to how treating OCD requires different tools than treating C-PTSD, and I hope it offers you the same clarity it gave me.

🎙️ In this episode, Sara Avery, executive director of the Learned Distress Removal Process, joins me to discuss why healing from complex trauma can feel so difficult, even when we're doing all the "right" things.

Sara Avery shares her 25-year journey helping people heal from complex trauma through the Learned Distress Removal Process

Sara explains what Learned Distress is, how it gets created during childhood, and why many survivors keep ending up in the same kinds of relationships and situations.

We explore the six Learned Distress types (Idealist, Perfectionist, Caregiver, Optimist, Defeatist, and Dictator) and what core well-being looks like when it's uncovered for each type.

Sara shares the story behind the development of the Learned Distress Removal Process and her collaboration with founder Mimi Herrmann.

Our conversation touches on the connection between emotional and physical health, the role of sleep in healing, how to begin accessing your core well-being, and so much more.

This episode's healing invitation encourages you to reflect on which Learned Distress patterns resonated with you and notice what comes up as you sit with this new language

🎙️ In this episode, join me, Raysa, as I talk about my experience with estrangement. As I reach my third year estranged from the main abusers in my life, I share what it has been like to make, and maintain, this decision. I also discuss how I’ve been navigating recent content that shames estrangement, and the blanket statements often used to minimize its necessity. Tune in to hear what I’ve gained from this painful but transformative journey.

A podcast where I share my experience living with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and what I am doing to heal and get better.

In this episode, Raysa continues her first illustration using a TV show and she reflects on how the shows The Bear and Adolescence captured her main abusers. In Part 2, Raysa shares her experience to the reactions to these shows and focuses on how Donna Berzatto from The Bear (a character played by Emmy Award Winner Jamie Lee Curtis), Jamie and Eddie from Adolescence (played by Owen Cooper and Stephen Graham) are very similar to her main abusers.

🎙️ In this episode,

Dr. Sherrie Campbell shares her personal experience of recognizing emotional abuse from her own parent and the tools that helped her cope and grieve as she began to distance herself.

Dr. Sherrie defines emotionally abusive parents using her DNA framework (Do Not Abuse) and explains how abusive parents offer conditional kindness instead of unconditional love.

The concept of defensive hypervigilance trauma is explored, along with "toxic parent abuse victim syndrome" and how these patterns show up for survivors.

Dr. Sherrie discusses rebellious hope, a transformative alternative to the toxic hope that keeps survivors stuck in abusive systems.

The episode closes with reflections on embodying healing traits, advice to younger selves, and where listeners can connect with Dr. Sherrie's work.

A podcast where I share my experiences living with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and what I am doing to heal and get better.

In this episode, Raysa is joined by Ali Boyce to continue their conversation about C-PTSD and singing. Ali Boyce is a singer, songwriter, voice teacher, massage therapist, biodynamic craniosacral therapist, yoga teacher, and performer. Ali and Raysa talk about how unaddressed toxic shame can get in the way of self-expression, how social media can amplify the pressure of toxic shame, the importance of constantly reparenting our inner kiddos, how becoming aware of our sensations can help to expand the self-awareness that gets hijacked by trauma, and so much more.

🎙️ In this episode, I reflect on my healing journey from complex trauma over the past year. I share what has worked and what hasn’t, and I talk about how important self-compassion, boundaries, and recognizing the impact of relationships have been in my healing. I also discuss the tools and techniques that have supported my progress, including nervous system regulation and the importance of rest. I celebrate my wins, from personal growth to new therapeutic relationships, and I set intentions for the year ahead.

Takeaways

Healing from complex trauma is a continuous journey.

Self-compassion is crucial in overcoming toxic shame.

Noticing patterns in relationships can lead to healthier boundaries.

Letting go of unrealistic expectations can foster personal growth.

Rest is essential for mental and emotional well-being.

Finding the right therapeutic support is vital for healing.

Celebrating small wins can boost motivation and self-esteem.

Implementing personalized systems can enhance productivity.

Understanding executive function deficits can aid in self-management.

Radical acceptance allows for a healthier perspective on life's challenges.

A podcast where I share my experiences living with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and what I am doing to heal and get better.

In this episode, Raysa is delighted to be joined by Dr. Ingrid Clayton, a fellow survivor of narcissistic abuse who developed Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and clinical psychologist. In this episode, Ingrid talks about how writing her memoir Believing Me and self-publishing was crucial to shaping her healing journey, and how narcissistic abuse impacts our voices. Ingrid and Raysa talk about the infamous fawning trauma response and the importance of reclaiming this survival strategy. Also, they dive into the importance of releasing shame to become able to change and heal our relationship with our trauma responses, what to expect of Ingrid’s upcoming book Fawning, and so much more.

About this week’s guest:

Dr. Ingrid Clayton, Ph.D., specializes in the intersection of spirituality, addiction, and trauma. Her memoir, Believing Me Healing from Narcissistic Abuse and Complex Trauma, reveals a psychologist’s awakening to her own traumatic past and her book, Recovering Spirituality, explores spiritual bypass and its impact on recovery. Ingrid’s upcoming book called Fawning Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves and How to Find Our Way Back is coming out on September 9, 2025 and is available for pre-order now

In this episode, join me, Raysa, as I kick off Season 3 of Hello Trauma Brain. I’ll be exploring why rest often feels unsafe for people with C-PTSD, how trauma impacts the nervous system, and why this can lead to cycles of chronic stress and burnout. I also share personal insights on what I’m learning as I try to build healthier patterns of rest and recovery.

🎙️ In this episode, I explore why current events hit differently when you have C-PTSD, and what happens when the world around us mirrors the original system of abuse we survived.

Why news cycles about ICE raids, Epstein files survivors being punished, and other stories trigger full nervous system dysregulation for trauma survivors

How current events mirror the pattern many of us grew up in: vulnerable people punished, abusers protected

Why shame gets activated when we see survivors silenced and perpetrators face no accountability

Personal reflections on childhood experiences with family-adjacent convicted offenders and being blamed instead of protected

How I'm working on reclaiming my voice and remembering I have power now that I didn't have as a child

Permission to feel triggered and empowered, and why your nervous system isn't overreacting

This episode’s healing invitation: Notice how your body reacts to the news. Set boundaries around when and how long you consume content about current events. Research safe ways to take action if you feel called. Most importantly, take care of yourself and honor your boundaries, and you cannot pour from an empty cup.

Content warning: This episode mentions sexual abuse and child sexual abuse and may mention trauma or other topics that could feel activating. Please pause, take a break, or skip the episode if needed.
