  Why You Escape: Unpacking “-isms” and Under and Over-Functioning Trauma Response

  Sep 8, 202659 minS2

  If you are exhausted from using work, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or substances to manage the silent weight of burnout, this deep, transformative conversation reveals why changing the surface behavior never fixes the trauma underneath: and how to finally meet the version of yourself that doesn't need to run.Why do so many "successful" lives still feel emotionally frozen on the inside? When we experience unresolved trauma or childhood disconnection, our survival brain learns to trade authenticity for attachment: using coping mechanisms like overworking, hyper-control, perfectionism, or chemical escapes just to feel safe and accepted. But changing the behavior alone never heals the root cause. When you treat the symptom without tending to the nervous system wound, shame takes over, locking you into an endless cycle of escape, burnout, and self-abandonment.If you feel like you have tried everything, keep circling the same patterns, or suspect that the very thing you are avoiding is what will set you free, you are not broken. Your survival habits make total sense.In this powerful, eye-opening episode of In the Nude: Naked Truth of Healing, host Rachel Abi sits down with renowned addiction and recovery expert Jeanne Foot (founder of The Recovery Concierge and Naturally High) to unpack what it actually takes to heal addiction, trauma, and emotional disconnection from the root.Together, they share direct, actionable insights on how black-and-white thinking keeps us trapped, why ego is often just a shield for hidden fear, and how to transition from white-knuckle survival into true somatic peace.What We Unpack in This Root-Cause Conversation:The Hidden Mechanics of Escape: Why high-functioning adults use workaholism, control, and substances to numb unprocessed emotional pain.Treating Root Causes vs. Symptoms: How trauma reshapes your identity and why self-compassion, not shame or harsh discipline, is the ultimate turning point for change.Becoming the Scientist of Your Life: Practical tools using somatic healing, hypnotherapy, NLP, and breathwork to observe your patterns without judgment.Micro-Actions over Dramatic Breakthroughs: How movement, sleep, nervous system regulation, and journaling create sustainable, long-term emotional freedom.Rebuilding Self-Trust: Rachel and Jeanne share lived experiences of burnout and rebuilding, offering a realistic path to softening your defenses and creating a life that actually feels like home.Healing is not a rigid destination or a test of perfection: it is a daily practice of returning to yourself. Tune in to stop surviving on autopilot, clear the old survival patterns, and step into an authentic life of unshakeable calm, agency, and peace.Where you can find more Jeanne Foot? https://therecoveryconcierge.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/naturally-high/id1585263254https://www.instagram.com/therecovery_concierge/

  The "Google Maps" Rule for Inner Child Healing: How Childhood Trauma Conditioning Shapes Your Beliefs and How to Reprogram Your Subconscious

  Sep 3, 202618 minS2

  If you find yourself overfunctioning in relationships, accepting crumbs of affection, or constantly trying to earn the love you already deserve:this raw, eye-opening episode reveals why your brain keeps running an outdated survival script, and how to finally break the cycle. What if the heavy belief crushing your daily life isn't an absolute truth, but simply an old survival story your brain created to keep you safe as a child? When you grow up surrounded by emotional unpredictability, conditional approval, or attachment wounds, your subconscious mind adopts core protection scripts like "I am unlovable," "I am unworthy," or "I have to be perfect to be safe." Decades later, those exact childhood wounds quietly run the show—shaping how you handle conflict, driving you to overwork, and locking you into exhausting patterns of people-pleasing and self-doubt. If you are tired of self-improvement that feels like endless, exhausting work, or you're ready to stop handing your power over to past betrayals, you are not broken. You are simply stuck in a subconscious loop. In this deeply personal and practical episode of In the Nude: Naked Truth of Healing , host Rachel Abi unpacks why so many of us overfunction, over-deliver, and trade our authenticity for peace. She traces how childhood conditioning creates the rigid patterns we carry into adult relationships, and breaks down why your daily actions reveal what you actually believe about your worth—regardless of how many positive affirmations you repeat. Rachel introduces her game-changing "Google Maps" approach to belief reprogramming: a hands-on, action-based strategy to map out where you currently are, interrupt old survival stories, and build unshakeable self-trust through conscious, grounded choices. What We Unpack in This Naked Conversation: The Subconscious Origins of Overfunctioning: Why you settle for crumbs in relationships and feel the constant urge to earn love, safety, and validation. The "Google Maps" Framework: How to rewrite deep-seated core beliefs ("I'm not enough," "I'm unlovable") through small, aligned actions instead of forced positive thinking. Past & Future Illusion: Why trauma makes your imagination masquerade as certainty—and how to pull your nervous system back into the present moment. Shifting from Resistance to Choice: How to stop fighting old triggers and start responding with calm, conscious, and firm boundaries. Reclaiming Self-Worth: How to drop self-protection mechanisms, lay down the weight of overwork and resentment, and give yourself permission to take up space. You do not have to spend the rest of your life living from wounds that were never yours to carry. Tune in to stop surviving past stories, step out of relational anxiety, and start building a life that feels like genuine peace, joy, and self-trust.

  What Are You Pretending Not to Know? Shame, Ego-Driven Ambition, and the Truth About Body-Based Healing with Jay Sefton

  Sep 1, 202656 minS2

  If you are torn between chasing your big ambitions and longing for quiet peace, exhausted from white-knuckling your way through shame spirals, and tired of generic self-help advice that leaves you feeling empty... this grounded, disarmingly honest conversation will show you how to finally come back to your body. When you grow up in an environment shaped by emotional unintelligence, rigid expectations, or a high-control background, you learn early that shame is a survival mechanism. You internalize the belief that you are never doing enough, turn your ambition into an exhausting hustle, and let the quiet fear of scarcity run your life. Years later, you might find yourself stuck in a cycle of striving for the next achievement, only to feel deeply disconnected, anxious, and defeated when it fails to bring you lasting peace. Shame, scarcity, and ego do not just disappear on their own. They silently shape every choice you make until you learn how to actively interrupt them in real time. In this thoughtful, practical conversation on In the Nude: Naked Truth of Healing , host Rachel Abi sits down with actor and mental health professional Jay Sefton to unpack the hidden crossover between theater and therapy. Drawing from 25 years in acting and his transition into mental health work, Jay shares how body awareness, silence, and the Meisner technique become powerful somatic tools for coming home to yourself. Rachel brings her own raw healing journey into the mix, turning this dialogue into an accessible, unvarnished blueprint for shifting from harsh self-judgment to authentic self-trust. Together, they strip away the performance of "fixing yourself" and dive into what it actually takes to regulate your nervous system on your hardest days. You will learn how to recognize when your motivation is nourishing you versus when it is draining your spirit, why resistance isn't a sign to give up, and how small, body-based actions rebuild self-worth faster than any positive affirmation ever could. What We Unpack in This Naked Conversation: The Intersection of Acting and Therapy: Why listening, somatic presence, and dropping the social mask on stage are the exact same tools required for deep personal healing. Deconstructing Ego-Driven Striving: The crucial difference between healthy drive that fuels your soul and ego-driven ambition that leaves you feeling hollow and exhausted. Interrupting Emotional Spirals: Practical somatic tools—including breathwork, body regulation, and "naming the weird thing out loud"—to stop anxiety and shame before they overwhelm you. Reframing Resistance: Why feeling stuck or hesitant isn't a stop sign, but an invitation to move forward with more radical honesty and less shame. Building Your Personal Litmus Test: How to tune into your physical body to discern what truly makes you feel alive versus what you are doing just to satisfy external validation. You do not have to earn your right to exist or prove your worth through relentless effort. Your way is allowed to be your way. Tune in to step out of the mental prison of performance, stop pretending not to know your truth, and discover practical principles to traverse this world with more ease, honesty, and peace.

  Why You Escape: How Numbing, Overworking, and CPTSD Hyper-Vigilance Keep You Trapped in Survival Mode

  Aug 27, 202622 minS2

  Ever feel like you’ve made massive strides in your healing journey, only for an unexpected trigger, betrayal, or comment to pull you straight back into old habits of self-criticism, fear, and feeling "not enough"? You aren’t back at square one—your nervous system is just asking for a new level of safety. Why do deeply ingrained patterns like overthinking, perfectionism, overworking, and people-pleasing feel so impossible to break with simple willpower or positive thinking? The truth is, your conscious mind only holds a fraction of the power—the rest is driven by subconscious belief filters and "stuck energy" stored in your physical body. When you've spent years operating in high-alert survival mode, relaxing into a life of calm, peace, and authentic joy can actually feel terrifying to an unconditioned nervous system. In this powerful, eye-opening episode of In the Nude: Naked Truth of Healing , host Rachel Abi joins renowned energy medicine expert and mind-body therapist Dr. Judith Swack to strip away the confusion around subconscious barriers, emotional triggers, and somatic healing. Together, they break down the exact mechanics of how old trauma wounds resurface and explore how deep core beliefs—like "I am unlovable" or "I am unsafe"—cause your brain to automatically deny, delete, and dismiss the positive love and success right in front of you. Rather than treating healing as a rigid, linear process, this conversation offers practical, fast-acting somatic tools—including Frontal Occipital Holding (FOH) and bilateral stimulation —to clear emotional baggage, reset fight-or-flight responses in real-time, and shift your nervous system back into calm. What We Unpack in This Deep-Dive Conversation: The Science of Stuck Energy: How subconscious emotional patterns drive habits like emotional eating, self-sabotage, and anxiety far more than your conscious thoughts do. Targeted Somatic Techniques: Practical, hands-on tools like unwinding frontal occipital holding and self-hug bilateral stimulation to dissolve shame, panic, and anger in minutes. The "Deny, Delete, Dismiss" Bias: How inherited belief filters warp your reality—and how to rewire your brain to finally receive love, success, and connection. Navigating Triggers & Setbacks: How to process heavy emotional waves in your body instead of suppressing them or spiraling into mental loops. Living in True Authentic Peace: How to tune into your body’s subconscious signals, step out of performative perfectionism, and create space for unapologetic joy. You do not have to spend the rest of your life managing emotional triggers or fighting your own mind. Tune in to uncover the hidden drivers behind your habits, clear old subconscious blocks, and step into the peaceful, thriving life you deserve.

  Overpreparing Is a Trauma Response: Visibility Wounds, Unfinished Healing, and the Fear of Being Seen as Yourself with Kristina Denton

  Aug 25, 20261h 17mS2

  If you are exhausted from overpreparing just to feel safe, terrified of stepping into the spotlight of your own life, and feeling completely alone in the messy, unpolished reality of trauma recovery... this disarmingly honest conversation is your permission slip to stop performing and finally come home to yourself. When you grow up with visibility wounds, enmeshment, or an environment where love felt like something you had to constantly earn, you learn early that performance equals safety. You become an expert at overpreparing, managing your reputation, and chasing external validation just to prove your worth. Years later, you might find yourself trapped in an exhausting cycle of perfectionism and control, feeling like the thing you fear most, being truly seen for who you are, is the exact thing your soul is screaming for. Healing from complex trauma is not a clean, linear, 5-step formula. It is tender, uncomfortable, and often requires us to face the strange ways our adult lives magnify every unfinished part of our past. In this raw, deeply human conversation on In the Nude: Naked Truth of Healing , host Rachel Abi sits down with actress, writer, and producer Kristina Denton for an unfiltered look at identity, self-worth, and the pressure of visibility. Kristina opens up about how a childhood of feeling disconnected shaped her deep love of storytelling, why acting became both a safe escape and a terrifying mirror, and how years of chasing Hollywood accolades nearly buried her true self. Together, Rachel and Kristina strip away the sanitized wellness tropes to discuss the unvarnished reality of nervous system survival patterns, IFS (Internal Family Systems), breathwork, and somatic healing. They unpack the vulnerability of putting family truth on the page, the emotional fallout of breaking generational silence, and why real transformation begins only when we stop trying to control the narrative and start trusting our own voice. What We Unpack in This Naked Conversation: The Overpreparation Trap: How hyper-vigilance and overpreparing are secretly trauma responses rooted in the fear of making mistakes or being judged. Healing Visibility Wounds: Why stepping into the spotlight, whether on a stage or in your personal relationships, triggers your body's survival instincts, and how to safely navigate the pressure of being seen. Dismantling the Myth of Earning Love: Unpacking enmeshment, the toxic illusion of "the other half," and how to stop abandoning yourself to keep the peace. Somatic & Integrative Modalities: How Human Design, astrology, IFS (Internal Family Systems), therapy, and breathwork helped Kristina reconnect with her physical body. The Courage of Truth-Telling: Kristina’s 7-year journey writing her deeply personal book, including the raw emotional impact on her family dynamics and sisterhood. True healing does not happen when you force yourself into a flawless box; it happens when you choose to become more real than you were ready for. You do not have to carry this difficulty alone anymore. Tune in to step out of performance mode, lay down your heavy armor, and find real-time, practical truths to better traverse this world.
