Shadow Work, Ayahuasca & Healing Childhood Trauma | Cristiano Colla on Authentic Living & Inner Transformation

In this powerful and deeply reflective episode of The Healing Version, Deborah sits down with Cristiano Colla—a former personal trainer turned spiritual storyteller—to explore the journey from chasing perfection to embracing authenticity. Cristiano shares how his life shifted after a transformative experience in the Peruvian jungle, where he worked with ayahuasca to confront childhood trauma, emotional wounds, and limiting beliefs. Key Takeways: Perfection is an illusion—true growth comes from embracing imperfection Childhood wounds (like abandonment) often shape adult relationships Shadow work is about self-awareness, not self-judgment Triggers are mirrors—they reveal what needs healing within Overthinking can block your purpose—learning to trust your body and intuition is key Healing is your responsibility, even if the pain wasn't your fault 🔗 Connect with Cristiano: Substack: The Hybrid Soul Blog (poetry, shadow work, spirituality) Substack: Oniric Lives (dream exploration & interpretation) Book: Amazon
