Healing Trauma & Returning to Your True Self | Julian Bermudez on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

In this profound episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by somatic therapist and trauma guide Julian Bermudez for a deep, grounded conversation on healing trauma, reclaiming authenticity, and understanding emotional survival patterns. Together, they unpack what trauma really means—not as a clinical label, but as a disconnection from the self—and how real healing begins by turning inward, not by reinventing.

Julian shares insights on how suppressed emotions manifest in daily behaviors, how societal rewards reinforce trauma patterns, and why healing is not about becoming someone new—but returning to who you've always been beneath the pain. A must-listen for anyone seeking emotional clarity, post-traumatic growth, and embodied wholeness.

About the GuestJulian Bermudez is a therapist and emotional healing guide specializing in somatic awareness, post-psychedelic integration, and trauma recovery. He offers deep support for those ready to stop performing, soften survival strategies, and return to a state of connection, presence, and authenticity.

Key Takeaways

• Trauma isn’t just what happened—it’s what happens inside us when we don’t have the support to process it.

• Suppressing emotions and becoming overly agreeable are common survival patterns that often begin in childhood.

• Healing is not about fixing—it’s about remembering and returning to the self we abandoned to survive.

• Authenticity isn’t found, it’s uncovered by listening to the pain in our body and tending to the unmet needs underneath it.

• Real recovery begins with curiosity: “What is this feeling trying to teach me?”

• Disconnection is not a flaw—it’s an intelligent adaptation to trauma. But we can choose to reconnect.

• Facing what scares us within often reveals an inner child needing care, not punishment.

• Healing doesn’t require radical reinvention. It starts with compassion, presence, and slowing down.
