Content note: This episode discusses trauma and PTSD. Listener discretion advised.

For many people, trauma isn’t about remembering too much. It’s about believing the wrong things about themselves for too long.

In this episode of And How Does That Make You Feel?, I sit down with Dr. Patricia Resick, the psychologist who created Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): One of the most effective, evidence-based treatments for PTSD used across the globe today. In this conversation, we explore:

* How CPT was developed and why it was needed

* Why trauma isn’t just about fear but often about meaning, responsibility, and self-judgment

* The difference between thoughts, feelings, and facts (and why that distinction matters)

* How CPT helps people heal without reliving the event

* Why trauma recovery is possible even years or decades later

Remember To Be Kind To Yourself

Some grief is loud. The kind marked by goodbyes, tears, and endings.

But other grief hides quietly beneath the surface: the ache of unmet needs, of love that never arrived, of moments that shaped us before we even knew what loss was.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Sophia Caudle, founder of The Original Grief, a deep healing framework that explores how our earliest experiences with caregivers shape the way we love, cope, and connect.

Dr. Caudle awakens up to this first loss and how uncovering these early wounds allows us to create space for genuine connection, lasting joy, and deeper peace.
