srqshrink.comIn this powerful episode, Becky sits down with Dr. Christopher Cortman, a Florida-licensed psychologist with more than 85,000 hours of psychotherapy experience, to explore why time alone does not heal trauma—and how intentional healing can.
Dr. Cortman explains how guided imagery may help people process unresolved trauma, grief, guilt, resentment, and fear without changing the facts of what happened. He shares moving clinical stories involving war trauma, suicide loss, childhood abuse, survivor’s guilt, and decades-old emotional wounds.
You’ll learn why trauma can feel unfinished, how guided imagery can help people “remember, feel, express, release, and reframe,” and why forgiveness does not mean excusing harm or reconciling with the person who caused it. Becky and Dr. Cortman also discuss unsent letters, resentment as a form of protection, the importance of trauma-informed support, and why genuine healing is possible—even after many years. -
