In this episode of Resilient Butterfly, we sit down with trauma therapist Ryan Soave to explore how trauma shows up in our lives, even when we do not recognize it. We talk about the difference between stress and trauma, why childhood patterns follow us into adulthood, and how recovery often begins with understanding rather than blame. Ryan shares how his own healing led him into this work and why emotional vulnerability matters, especially for men who have been taught to hide it.

We also talk about why relapse is often tied to unresolved trauma, how treatment needs to be based on individual needs rather than a preset timeline, and why spirituality and creativity play such powerful roles in long term healing. Ryan opens up about the transformations he has witnessed over the years and how people can move from deep pain into lives filled with meaning, family, connection, and service.

Whether you are navigating your own healing or supporting someone you love, this conversation offers grounded insight, compassion, and hope.

Pam Feinberg-Rivkin sits down with Dr. Barbara Krantz, a family medicine and addiction medicine physician, to share a powerful story of resilience that began with migraine treatment in the 1980s and led to iatrogenic opioid dependence, detox, and a life of service in addiction medicine. Dr Krantz opens up about the stigma she faced as a young physician and mother, the turning points that moved her into recovery, and why compassion and love are essential for lasting change.

We explore how she now treats the brain as the organ of this disease, using neurocognitive assessment that blends medical history, advanced lab work, genetic insights, perfusion imaging, QEEG, and neuromodulation tools like transcranial magnetic stimulation. Dr. Krantz shares a remarkable case illustrating how restoring brain perfusion can restore lives, and reminds us that addiction is not a moral failing but a treatable brain disease.
