In this Episode, we meet Laureli Shimayo who recalls the emotional and sexual abuse that she survived during her childhood, and how her body chose to internalize the experiences rather than leave her with the vivid and painful memories. When Laureli began attracting narcissistic relationships, or romantic partners who had trauma similar to hers, the dynamic created an opening for her to admit she had also been abused. Her remembrance also became the impetus for her healing herself, and creating her new career.

She now recognizes how her oppression and anger manifested into gifts of core strength and perseverance, and shares with us how she has provided safety for herself.
