Everyone talks about authenticity, and there's even a lot of shame for not "being real." But when you come from abuse and/or emotionally immature parents, it's actually really complicated to know how to be authentic. People-pleasing, fawning, emotional shutdown, freeze, and other trauma responses (often results of CPTSD) prevent us from even knowing how we feel, much less being able to express it. In this episode, licensed therapist Carli Kilbourne joins the pod to talk about how we get back to what's true for US.

Ever find yourself laughing through the pain because, honestly, what else is there to do? That's the space where The Patrauma Party-Heal from trauma, improve self worth, and learn to love yourself, dammit lives. Hosted by Remy Ramirez, who you'll quickly come to know as Your Trauma Bestie, this isn't your typical solemn dive into psychology. It's a real, often surprisingly funny, and always compassionate conversation about why healing from past wounds feels so frustratingly difficult. Each episode alternates between insightful talks with mental health professionals and raw, practical coaching sessions where Remy guides real listeners through their immediate struggles. You'll hear people unpack why they're drawn to unavailable partners, how to quiet that voice doubting their worth, and what it truly takes to break free from cycles that talk of "just moving on" never seems to fix. The core question driving every discussion is a practical one: how do we actually change? If you're tired of theoretical advice and crave relatable stories and actionable steps, this podcast offers a sense of community and a much-needed dose of humor on the path toward understanding yourself better.
