In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Christine Baker, a trauma specialist and somatic therapist, to discuss the impact of betrayal trauma on the nervous system. Betrayal can leave us feeling broken and stuck in patterns of fear and hypervigilance, but understanding how our nervous systems respond is the first step toward healing.

Dr. Baker explains the science behind these responses and offers practical strategies to calm and restore the nervous system, helping you move from survival mode to a place of peace. Whether you’re dealing with betrayal or supporting someone who is, this conversation provides the tools and insights needed to begin the journey toward healing and renewal.
