About this week’s episode

Welcome back to How to Deal with Grief and Trauma. Today, we’re reconnecting with Betsy Winter, our guest from Episode 99. She shared her powerful story of resilience through grief after the loss of her daughter Eliza. This time, Betsy returns to explore a deeply personal and transformative topic: developmental trauma. If you’re new to DT, you might like to check out Episode 66, where I explain the basics, how DT manifests, etc.

Today, Betsy and I will explore how early adverse experiences shaped her life, their impact on emotional well-being, and her healing journey. Betsy offers unique insights into uncovering hidden trauma, navigating relationships, and embracing recovery. Her candid reflections and hard-won wisdom remind us that healing is possible, no matter how early the wounds were formed. Stay tuned for a heartfelt conversation about vulnerability, growth, and the path toward lasting emotional freedom.
