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.
