Understanding the right pacing for trauma recovery is a crucial yet often overlooked step in the healing journey. Dr. Maria Bargeman outlines how to determine a personalized pace that aligns with your emotional capacity and life circumstances. Through her "traffic light" metaphor, she explains how green, yellow, and red emotional states can guide your approach to processing trauma. This ensures you can progress without overwhelming your nervous system or stalling your growth.

In this powerful episode of The School of Resilience, Dr. Maria Bargeman reveals the missing ingredient in trauma healing that traditional therapy often overlooks. Using a compelling analogy of climbing a mountain, she describes the journey of trauma healing as a challenging, individualized trek that requires more than just weekly sessions in the artificial, controlled environment of a therapist’s office. Dr. Bargeman asserts that traditional therapy can often feel isolated and detached from real-life struggles, leaving people unprepared and unsupported in the reality of their darkest moments that always happen outside of the slotted appointment time. Instead, true healing happens when we have an experienced “mountain guide” who walks WITH you through every difficult step while providing real-time, real-world support and personalized tools.
