You Are Not Broken

Complex PTSD Recovery for Adult Survivors of Childhood Trauma: From Survivor to Sovereign with Integrated Nervous System Approaches: Internal Family Systems, Somatic Therapy & CBT (Neuroplasticity for Radical Change)

De: Cameron Hale

Narrado por: Robyn Mary Buedo

Time doesn’t heal trauma — it buries it alive.

If you’ve ever felt hypervigilant no matter how safe you are, battled an inner critic that never sleeps, or longed for intimacy yet found it unsafe — you are not broken. These patterns aren’t weakness or flaws. They are survival strategies that once protected you but now keep you trapped.

You don’t need more surface fixes — you need a full-system reset. Most recovery approaches treat only one layer. This audiobook unites Internal Family Systems, Somatic Therapy, and CBT into an integrated framework that repairs communication across body, subconscious, and identity — so healing isn’t just something you understand, but something you live.

Inside, you’ll discover how to:

• Disarm the hypervigilant “bodyguard” running your nervous system and retrain it to deliver calm as faithfully as it once delivered fear.
• Turn the inner critic from tormentor into ally, unlocking hidden intelligence inside perfectionism and shame.
• Break people-pleasing patterns using body-based signals that make boundaries effortless instead of terrifying.
• Reclaim your body as safe, sovereign ground through gentle practices that dissolve dissociation and invite presence.
• Stop emotional flashbacks from hijacking your present with a fast-reset method that collapses trauma loops into clarity in minutes.
• Experience intimacy without self-abandonment, loving deeply while staying anchored in your own center.

You weren’t built to spend life surviving on scraps of calm and flashes of connection. You were built to feel steady in your body, rooted in your choices, and free to love without fear. Why settle for anything less?

You’ve survived enough. It’s time to finally feel safe enough to live the life you choose. Don’t wait any longer to become the author of your own freedom.
