Description:

In this deeply powerful and compassionate episode, Melissa is joined by Karen Robinson, the inspiring host of the Heal, Thrive, Dream Podcast. Karen is a trauma recovery coach, therapist, and advocate dedicated to helping survivors of trauma rebuild their lives with hope, self-awareness, and healing.

Karen shares her personal and professional insights into the deep connection between the mind, body, and soul, exploring how unprocessed emotions can manifest as physical pain or illness. Through behavioral therapy and self-awareness, Karen teaches how to track and categorize negative thoughts, separate core beliefs from inner lies, and reclaim your emotional balance.

She reveals an eye-opening truth: emotions can move through our bodies in just nine seconds, yet many of us spend years avoiding them. Instead of numbing or suppressing emotions through unhealthy coping mechanisms, Karen encourages embracing them with curiosity, compassion, and mindfulness.

Together, Melissa and Karen explore:

• The powerful connection between trauma and the body

• How emotional avoidance impacts physical health

• The role of behavioral therapy in trauma recovery

• Why self-compassion is key to healing

• Ways to identify and rewrite negative thought patterns

• The importance of seeking help, therapy, and community

Karen’s journey is a testament to resilience, healing, and the transformative power of facing your truth. Whether you’re healing from trauma or supporting someone who is, this episode is a reminder that healing is not linear, but it is possible.

💬 Ways to Engage:

Try journaling your thoughts and separating your truths from the lies your mind tells you. Identify your core beliefs and release negative self-talk that no longer serves you.
