412. Why We Trauma Bond

Almost 30
About this episode

In this episode, Dr. Nicole LePera gets personal about writing her brand-new book, How to Be The Love You Seek. From healing the mother wound to embracing life as part of a throuple, Dr. LePera unpacks the true determining factor behind healthy relationships: YOU.

Dr. LePera helps millions of people understand and break the trauma cycles that hold them back through her Instagram content (@the.holistic.psychologist), books, and a global, community-based healing membership called the SelfHealers Circle.

Get ready for a fresh perspective on how to transform your relationships or call in new ones, starting with your body. Dr. LePera urges that when we understand our conditioning and begin to regulate our nervous system, we can give ourselves and our partners the love we’ve always wanted.
