If healing feels uncomfortable lately, this episode is for you.
This week Alana talks about the difference between dysregulation and readiness — and how discomfort can be a sign you’re ready to move from survival into growth. This episode offers a compassionate, trauma-informed reframe for betrayal trauma survivors who feel stuck, restless, or unsure of their next step.
You’re not broken. You might just be ready.
