The answer isn't that you're broken. 

It's that no one ever taught you to recognize the patterns.

Behind anxiety, people-pleasing, toxic relationships, emotional exhaustion, and hyper-independence are often survival strategies that once kept you safe.

I'm Maria, founder of The Wounded Healer.

I left home at 15 believing I'd escaped my past. It took me decades to realize that leaving and escaping are not the same thing.

Today, I use my lived experience and trauma education to help people recognize the patterns behind complex PTSD, coercive control, childhood trauma, and post-separation abuse—because healing begins when you finally understand what happened to you.

Here you'll learn about:

• Complex PTSD and nervous system regulation

• Childhood trauma and survival adaptations

• Coercive control and narcissistic abuse

• Family court and post-separation abuse

• The mother wound, father wound, and attachment trauma

• Pattern recognition that helps you finally connect the dots

Through:

• Educational videos and practical resources

• Somatic tools and nervous system education

• Workshops, programs, and community

• Real stories that help you recognize your own
