Overcoming Trauma and Embracing Healing | with Dr. Betsy Holmberg

Overcoming Trauma and Embracing Healing | with Dr. Betsy Holmberg

Why do we keep returning to the same painful thoughts, even after awareness kicks in?

In this eye-opening episode, Michael Unbroken sits down with award-winning psychologist Dr. Betsy Holmberg to explore how trauma shapes our brain, fuels negative self-talk, and keeps us trapped in cycles of shame, anxiety, and coping mechanisms that no longer serve us.

Dr. Holmberg brings groundbreaking insight into the default mode network (DMN)—the part of your brain responsible for that relentless inner critic—and explains how trauma strengthens this network while weakening the one responsible for focus, calm, and choice. They talk through the science behind addiction, why healing feels impossible some days, and how to begin flipping the switch from stuck to free.

If you've ever felt broken, overwhelmed by your reactions, or lost in the loop of "what's wrong with me?", this episode will not only validate your experience but give you real tools to understand it—and start shifting out of it.

  • Why your brain resists healing (and how to work with it)
  • How trauma hijacks your nervous system
  • The real reason we return to harmful habits
  • Why sharing your story might be your turning point
  • How to quiet the DMN and strengthen your sense of self


You are not your thoughts. You are not broken. This episode is your starting point for change.

Sathiya Sam - Healing Porn Addiction | CPTSD and Trauma Healing Coach

Sathiya Sam - Healing Porn Addiction | CPTSD and Trauma Healing Coach

In this episode, we have guest speaker Sathiya Sam, a coach for pornography addicts. I know if you read the title of this healing porn addiction, it might have been a little unsettling, might be a little uncomfortable, might even be a little scary. I don't want you to run. If you are a person right now who in your life is facing the reality that maybe pornography is negatively impacting your life, you're going to want to listen to this episode. And the reason why is because the truth is that porn impacts people, men and women doesn't matter all across the world in ways that are so negative and detrimental even myself I've been through my own battle with it. And in that coming out the other side, looking at my life now, one of the things I'm happiest about is going through the process of healing map; that I was exposed to pornography at an incredibly young age, 7 years old and that kind of set the precedent for me in my life. And what I will tell you about my own journey without going too deep, because we're going to have a conversation with Sathiya here in a moment is that being willing to acknowledge the impact that it was having on me from a negative aspect is one of the only reasons I'm here. I would apply that to any of the addictions I faced in my life, food, money, clothes, cars, whatever; step one is always that. And the reason why I wanted to bring him on today was so that we could have this conversation and open up this taboo that I know is impacting people because it has impacted me. As a reminder, I want you to know that you're not alone in this journey and healing process. There are tools; there is help; there is a community out that can support you and whether it's 12-step or coaching or whatever it may be, just know that if you are facing struggles in your life of any addiction, there is support there is help.

How to Emotionally Transition Every day | CPTSD Health Podcast

How to Emotionally Transition Every day | CPTSD Health Podcast

In this episode, I want to talk to you about transitions, and I will be upfront with you, as I always am; this is an idea that I learned from Brendon Burchard probably five years ago. I talk about this idea of who it is that you need to be every time you walk through a threshold. The threshold is literal, like your door and who you want to be, how you want to show up, what kind of emotional response you want to have, and what kind of energy you want to bring. There’s always these transitions happening every single moment of every day, and every single time you walk into this new situation, you have to assess who it is, that you need to be right now. So, let’s come and listen now!

My 10 Unbroken Rules for life | CPTSD and Trauma Healing Podcast

In this episode, I want to talk to you about my Ten Unbroken rules for life. I think very frequently that's how we're going to start this episode. These rules are rules that I decided to implement into my life that I read every single day. I also believe that when you write things down in the same way that I talk about writing down your goals multiple times a day that you have to bring it back to your attention, you have to look at and read these things. I hope it will help you too in your journey and become successful in life! Remember that you are the leader of your own life. Take a moment to pause and listen; it will help you focus on what’s truly important in your life!

Tom Dozier - Misophonia Does the Sound of Others Chewing Fill You with Rage | Mental Health Podcast

Tom Dozier - Misophonia Does the Sound of Others Chewing Fill You with Rage | Mental Health Podcast

In this episode, I speak with Tom Dozier, the leading expert on Misophonia on planet Earth. I learned some things about myself that I didn't even know things honestly and have been impactful in game-changing for me in the months since our conversation. Have you ever been around someone in your life who is eating or chewing or smacking their lips, or you hear that sound, and you go, holy shit! Would you stop it? And like you start freaking out? Misophonia is the reaction you have to the sound of people eating, the sound of certain movements, and a certain sound that triggers us. I'm excited about this because when I heard about this, I had this memory of being like man, I remember being a little kid or being in my teens and even to this day being around people when they eat in a certain way and now because of Tom it started to shift but being around people when either they chew or they talk in a certain way would drive me absolutely fucking crazy. Unbroken Nation it's something I would never have. If you would have asked me when I started this show years ago. If I ever had a conversation with the world's leading expert on the people, on the reaction of people who hear mouth sounds and turn that into anger, I would have been like, what are you talking about? That's insane, and trust me, I know you're probably thinking yourself, what are you even talking about now? Look, trust me, you're going to want to listen to this episode because somebody listening to us right now is going to be like, oh, that makes a lot of sense in my life, and so I'm very excited!

In this episode, have you ever been a part of a community and it feels like when you are trying to find people to bring you up and support you, that it feels like they're pulling you down, that they're in your way that they're not helpful or beneficial? One of the things that I've always loved about The Unbroken Nation, you guys, who are listening, how amazing you are.
