À propos de cet audio
After trauma, even something as simple as a hug can feel overwhelming. If you’ve ever stood in a room, watching others embrace while you froze—feeling insecure, confused, or even broken—you’re not alone.
In this episode of Unbreakable Resilience, PTSD survivor and 11-year police officer/Sheriff’s Office Deputy veteran Giuseppe Chiaramonte, Ed.D. dives into why First Responders healing from PTSD, anxiety, and depression often struggle with touch. You’ll learn how trauma impacts your nervous system, why your body pulls back to protect you, and why this doesn’t mean you’ll feel this way forever.
With reflection questions and raw personal stories, Giuseppe helps you honor your body’s boundaries and remind you: you’re healing, and your body is your safe zone. Take as much time as you need.
