Heart, Law, and Trauma – Darin on Life After the Damage | Vitamin T – Part B

In part B, Alex and Darin dive deep into life after trauma – when the event is over, but the “damage” stays with you every single day.Darin speaks with raw honesty about life after Nova, realizing there is no more “before”, the harsh inner critic in her head, and the tiny, moment-to-moment work of learning to trust herself again.She shares about anxiety, nightmares, anger that disguises itself as every other emotion, heart versus brain, ice baths, breathwork, and methods like Wim Hof and Vipassana – and how you build a new routine when everything you knew has collapsed.At the same time, Alex and Darin talk about the system: National Insurance, psychiatrists, outdated laws, and why the law for victims of hostile acts must change so that the state will acknowledge that trauma doesn’t just “go away” – you learn to live with it.It’s an episode about personal responsibility on one hand, and self-compassion on the other. About how we talk to ourselves, and how we very slowly change that inner story.
