EP 21 l Healthy Positive Mindset: CPTSD, Grief, & Processing

Author: Gabriella Tranchina November 18, 2025 Duration: 45:01
Send Gabriella a Text Message. Divulging into my battle with CPTSD and healing my trauma with the help of neuropsychology. A healthy positive mindset that comes allowing yourself to grieve and celebrating the good, but acknowledging the bad. Refusing to allow yourself grief and denying your loss creates a feux mask of toxic positivity. Instead of moving on, you are pushing down your emotions - which is a big no no because the only way to allow our emotions to move through us is to feel them f...

There’s a moment after everything shatters-after a coma, brain surgery, and more broken bones than you can count-where you have to decide what to do with the pieces. Gabriella Rebranded is built from that moment. Host Gabriella Tranchina doesn’t offer a sugar-coated recovery manual; instead, she charts the messy, nonlinear path of healing after catastrophic trauma. This isn't just a story of survival, but of deliberate reinvention. Conversations in this podcast move between the profound practicalities of brain injury recovery and the unexpected spiritual growth that can emerge from the rubble. You’ll hear raw discussions about the medical and mental hurdles, but also the surprising role of dark humor as a lifeline. It’s about finding a way to laugh when you’re still learning how to walk again, and discovering a resilience you never knew you needed. Each episode feels like a candid talk with someone who gets it, blending hard-won wisdom with an irreverent spark. Tune in for a guide to rebuilding a life, not just repairing one, where the destination isn't about going back to who you were, but forward into who you’re becoming.
