From trauma to transformation: the healing power of curiosity with DR. Hector

from Sincerely, Self · host Lexi Benitez

In this heart-opening episode, Lexi Benitez sits down with Dr. Hector, a psychiatrist and founder of The White Butterfly, to talk about the art of healing through curiosity and compassion. Dr. Hector shares his journey from photography to psychiatry, and how his creative background influences the way he helps people process trauma. Together, they explore the difference between “big T” and “little t” traumas — and how small, everyday wounds can shape our emotional world just as deeply as major life events. Listeners will learn how to recognize hidden patterns of self-criticism, open their hearts to curiosity instead of judgment, and begin seeing healing as a gentle, creative process. If you’ve ever wondered how to reconnect with yourself after pain or how to turn your story into strength, this episode will speak straight to your soul.  Key Themes The healing power of curiosity Big “T” vs. little “t” trauma and how they affect us Shifting from self-judgment to self-compassion Integrating creativity into mental health and healing The inspiration behind The White Butterfly and its message   LEARN MORE ON DR.
