211. Healing After Betrayal: What Costa Rica Taught Me About Belonging, Self-Worth, and Slowing Down
After returning from nearly a month in Costa Rica leading a women's somatic healing retreat, I'm sharing two powerful lessons that deepened my own healing journey after betrayal and divorce. In this episode, I explore why our sense of belonging is often shaken by betrayal trauma, emotional abuse, and divorce—and how reclaiming your worth begins by remembering that you already belong. I also share why slowing down isn't falling behind but is one of the most important practices for nervous system regulation, self-trust, and lasting emotional healing. If you're navigating betrayal trauma, high-conflict divorce, grief, or trying to rebuild your life after abuse, this episode offers encouragement, practical reflection questions, and hope that healing doesn't come from rushing—it comes from becoming. In this episode you'll learn: • Why betrayal often disrupts your sense of belonging • How trauma impacts your nervous system and self-worth • Why "slow is fast" when it comes to healing • Practical ways to build self-trust and create healthy boundaries • The deeper meaning of Pura Vida and how it can transform your healing journey _____________________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey Free Video Series "Am I In An Abusive Relationship" : You will receive an email containing videos that guide you through the 8 domains of a relationship and explore potentially destructive dynamics you may be experiencing.Each video includes a worksheet to help you reflect on your lived experience and gain greater clarity and understanding of your reality.
