In this episode of The School of Resilience, Dr. Maria Bargeman emphasizes the importance of choosing the right guide for your trauma healing journey. Healing from trauma is deeply personal, and the right guide—whether a licensed professional, trauma-informed coach, or peer supporter—can make or break your progress. Dr. Bargeman provides actionable advice on how to screen potential guides, ensuring they are compassionate, experienced, and capable of tailoring their approach to your unique needs. Trust, she explains, is not a given but something that must be earned through humility and emotional intelligence.
Dr. Bargeman explores the value of peer supporters, or "fellow trauma travelers," who bring lived experience to the healing process. These individuals understand the raw realities of trauma because they have navigated similar paths. The episode also underscores the limitations of traditional therapy and why integrating informal supports can be transformative. With practical screening steps, Dr. Bargeman equips listeners to identify guides who not only have theoretical knowledge but also provide real-world, in-the-moment support.
Choosing the right guide is a pivotal step toward reaching your "fully healed self." Dr. Bargeman draws from her own experiences and professional insights to empower listeners to take control of their healing journey. Learn how to avoid costly missteps, select the right guide, and choose a healing path that fits your unique circumstances.

"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."
