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.

Samantha Mason Vazquez - How to Change the Emotional Impact of Trauma | Trauma Healing Coach

In this episode, I speak with Samantha Mason Vasquez. We will have an incredible conversation about how you change the impact of past experiences in your current life. This episode is really fun for me because I've done things like this before, and I get to experience in real-time and, more importantly, get exposed to The Unbroken Nation of some of these techniques that I have personally used that have been life-changing. I will also say that in this episode, I highly recommend it because there is a practical exercise in real-time she's going to take us through that you find a place where you can sit and pay attention and listen to this episode. The reason why is because it's an exercise where you're going to close your eyes and go through meditation practice; I did it in real-time with her, and to take the most benefit out of this, you don't want to be driving; you don't want to be at the gym, you want to be very present. So that said, that's what I would do if I were you. Samantha is a Business Coach, Career Coach, and Mindset Coach, Samantha makes her home in Colorado. She finds her joy sharing experiences with her husband and children; extended family and friends. She replenishes her energy and reconnects to nature and her human experience by spending time in the great outdoors. Her heart centered, grounded approach comes from this deep appreciation of the human condition. Samantha specializes in coaching people who want to transform pain from past trauma into wisdom for greater satisfaction in life and for a more balanced and productive experience in their career and professional pursuits. Focus and listen today because Samantha will bring a tremendous amount of value to your life. You were knowing and looking at the ability that we all have to create a change of meaning like I believe you're going to want to listen to this. -Be Unbroken Learn more about Samantha Mason Vazquez, visit: https://modernmind.io/ Get a Paperback copy of Think Unbroken Understanding and Overcoming Childhood Trauma for FREE at: https://book.thinkunbroken.com/ Learn more about Coaching Program: https://coaching.thinkunbroken.com/ Learn more about at: https://www.ThinkUnbrokenPodcast.com Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/think-unbroken-with-michael-unbroken-childhood-trauma-cptsd-and/exclusive-content Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Why you must stop cutting corners | CPTSD and Trauma Coach

Why you must stop cutting corners | CPTSD and Trauma Coach

In this episode, I was thinking about something today about cutting corners. When I was a kid, as many of you know, I wrestled for the vast majority of my childhood; I cut corners all of the time. I was going to cut the corner, and I had some success rustling in high school, but not the success I could have had if I didn't cut the corner if I would have held myself accountable if I were to put myself in a position to be successful. Unbroken Nation, I would like you to watch and listen to this episode. Please do me a favor.

How to Stopped Procrastinating | CPTSD and Trauma Healing Coach

How to Stopped Procrastinating | CPTSD and Trauma Healing Coach

In this episode, I talk about procrastination how we tie our identity to this idea that we have to wait. I'm a procrastinator; I think often, and this was my experience, that procrastination is an identity; it's this thing that we get tied to where we acknowledge that you know what? Maybe I don't have to do it now; I can do it tomorrow. It's not a big deal. I'll wait till the last minute, and then boom, massive stress in our lives. You have that thing inside you right now that you need to do, you have that ability to cross that threshold into what's next, and you keep putting it off because somewhere along the line in your experience, someone said, you always say what you want to. So, today I will share with you what is procrastinating means. Listen Now! -Be Unbroken.
