Why Letting Go of Betrayal Trauma Is Harder Than It Looks

Everyone says "just let it go" — but nobody tells you why that's so much harder than it sounds when the trauma lives in your body, not just your mind. This is the Season 3 premiere of Where to Find Bread, and it's the most vulnerable episode I've made. I finally did the family of origin work I'd been avoiding — and what came out of it shook me. In this episode I share: → Why EMDR therapy (bilateral stimulation) works when talk therapy doesn't → An excerpt from a story I wrote to process recurring childhood dreams → How "The Body Keeps the Score" cracked open what I couldn't say out loud → The moment I realized letting go isn't a decision — it's a process This is my story. But I have a feeling parts of it are yours too. ⏱ CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Season 3 Begins: Why I Finally Got Help 00:30 – The Family of Origin Work I Kept Avoiding 05:50 – What EMDR Actually Feels Like 07:50 – "The Baby, the Prostitute, and Me" (Original Story) 13:55 – Books That Helped Me Heal 15:25 – What's Coming Next (My Book!) 📚 BOOKS MENTIONED: • The Body Keeps the Score – Bessel van der Kolk • The 5 Second Rule – Mel Robbins • The Official We Do Not Care Club Handbook 🍞 GRAB YOUR EBOOK → [https://wheretofindbread.us/product/26-days-of-fresh-bread-coloring-book-journal/] 📩 Join the newsletter → [https://wheretofindbread.myflodesk.com] *Please leave a comment:* I read every single one and would love to hear how you are moving forward this week! *Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, and SHARE this video to help others heal!* 🔗 Connect With Me:* - Website & Recovery Resources: https://wheretofindbread.us/resources - Join the Newsletter: Stay updated on new episodes and tools for your toolkit: https://wheretofindbread.myflodesk.com *🔔 SUBSCRIBE:* https://www.youtube.com/@WheretoFindBread/ #BetrayalTrauma #TraumaHealing #EMDRTherapy #LettingGo #HealingJourney This is a public episode.
