Can Trauma Secretly Be Blocking Your Success? | With Therapist Dino Paris

Send us Fan MailWhat if the ceiling on your career, creativity, or relationships isn’t a skill gap—but an unhealed story living in your body? We sit down with Portland therapist Dino Paris, who brings 40 years of trauma work to a deeply human conversation about performance, joy, and the nervous system. Dino started in finance, burned out on meaning, and found his way into counseling where he discovered something simple and profound: when people feel safe and truly seen, healing accelerates and burnout fades.We unpack the quiet power of small "t" trauma and neglect—the micro-moments that shape a lifelong identity of “not enough.” Dino maps a clear flow from old wounds to negative beliefs to constrained choices, then shows how to reverse it: release the charge, plant better thoughts, restore calm, and watch the outer world mirror the inner shift. He explains why thought alone can’t settle fight or flight, how breath and pacing create safety, and why building rapport is non-negotiable when emotions surface during bodywork or therapy.If you’re ready to trade survival for joy and turn old patterns into new capacity, press play.
