Episode 42: I Was Married to the ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ Breaking Trauma Bonds and Thriving with Dr. Nadine Macaluso

from Breaking Through, the Ellina Abovian podcast · host ellinakh

Dr. Nadine Macaluso, known to her patients as Dr. Nae, is the real-life inspiration behind Naomi Belfort's character in "The Wolf of Wall Street." She survived a turbulent eight-year marriage to Jordan Belfort, marked by abuse, greed, and trauma. Following her experiences, Dr. Macaluso relocated to California. Her journey of trauma and healing inspired her to return to school at age 39, where she earned her Master's in counseling and a Ph.D. in somatic psychotherapy. She further specialized with a two-year postdoctoral training in the Neuro-affective Relational Model (NARM). As a therapist, Dr. Macaluso combines her education and personal experiences to help others heal from trauma. Her practice focuses on assisting patients in connecting with their authentic selves, fostering confidence, resilience, and agency. Dr. Macaluso firmly believes in the potential for post-traumatic growth, instilling hope in her patients and guiding them to reach their potential in life and love.   Thank you, @Keosian Law, LLP for sponsoring this episode https://keosianlaw.com/   Dr. Nadine Macaluso | Social IG: @therealdrnadine Website: https://drnae.com/
