Ep.21 A Brief Look into Betrayal Trauma
Description
In this episode of Faith and Feels, I dive into the powerful insights shared at the Betrayal Healing Conference 2025, featuring Dr. Peter Levine and Tammy Gustafson. Dr. Levine is a biophysicist and founder of Somatic Experiencing and Gustafson is a betrayal trauma coach, writer, and speaker. Drawing from their discussion and The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk, we explore the impact of betrayal trauma on the body and mind.
I discuss Dr. Levine’s suggestion of meditating on a childhood memory as a tool for healing—how reconnecting with our past can guide us toward restoration. To close, I lead a guided meditation designed to activate your parasympathetic nervous system, helping you cultivate safety, regulation, and a deeper connection to your healing journey.
There are tons of helpful resources and materials for those who work with betrayal trauma or perhaps you yourself are going thru this very issue in your life currently. Help and support is available! Keep looking and you'll find the tools you've been waiting for!
