In this episode of The School of Resilience, Dr. Maria Bargeman delves into the nuances of emotional healing and trauma recovery. She highlights that the path to healing is not one-size-fits-all and emphasizes the importance of choosing the right therapeutic approach at the right time. Drawing on her personal experiences and clinical expertise, Dr. Maria illustrates how the wrong therapy or timing can create setbacks. She introduces three pathways to healing: the top-down approach (mind), the bottom-up approach (body), and the inner core approach (sense of self). These pathways align with the key impacts of trauma and provide a framework for holistic recovery.
Dr. Maria outlines how individuals can determine their ideal starting point for healing based on their emotional and physical state. For example, if a person struggles with a chaotic mind or dissociation, they might need to establish safety and grounding before diving into cognitive or body-based therapies. By using visualization exercises, cultivating a sense of emotional safety, and practicing curiosity, individuals can reconnect with themselves and identify their next steps on the journey to healing. This episode empowers listeners to navigate their healing journey with confidence and clarity.
Dr. Maria emphasizes that healing is a deeply personal process, requiring tailored support and tools. She encourages listeners to find the therapeutic approach that resonates with their unique needs and circumstances. With compassion and expertise, she guides them to avoid self-blame when therapy feels stagnant and instead evaluate whether the approach itself might be the issue. For more guidance on choosing the right path, Dr. Maria invites listeners to explore her resources and connect through her website mariabargeman.com.

"You can get through this. I firmly believe that all trauma, and I really do mean all trauma, is not just treatable but it is 100% curable. That this doesn't need to define you, that you don't need to be impacted by this and stay trapped in the past and paralyzed and suffering for the rest of your life, but there is a way to move forward.
There is a way to fully heal, and you are capable of that."
