Victim 2 Victor: Healing Trauma & Building Real Love
Welcome to Victim 2 Victor - the space where healing from trauma becomes lived, embodied change.
I’m Anu Verma - trauma-informed coach, podcaster, executive producer, author, and survivor of childhood and relational trauma.
Through my work, I support people who are ready to stop repeating painful relationship patterns and start building lives - and love - rooted in safety, self-trust, and confidence.
Inside this podcast and my coaching work, I help you:
• Understand how trauma shapes attraction and relationship dynamics
• Calm your nervous system and rebuild emotional safety
• Break cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, and emotionally unavailable love
• Transform survival patterns into grounded self-leadership
You’ll hear honest conversations, lived stories of healing, and practical tools you can apply in real life - from nervous system regulation and somatic practices to rebuilding self-worth and rewriting your relationship blueprint.
If listening resonates and you’re ready for deeper, personalised support, I work with clients inside my 12-Week Victim 2 Victor Coaching Program, where we heal at the root - not the surface - and create lasting change.

Victim 2 Victor: Healing Trauma & Building Real Love
The Unseen Child: Reclaiming Self After Early Emotional Neglect
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Some wounds form before language, before memory - yet they shape how we relate, love, and see ourselves for a lifetime.
In this deeply introspective episode, I’m joined by Dawn Nelson, author of Bone by Bone: Healing the Emotional Wounds of Preverbal and Childhood Abuse. Through raw, courageous storytelling, Dawn invites us into the hidden layers of early trauma - especially emotional neglect in infancy - and how its imprint lives in the body long after the mind has forgotten.
Dawn shares her personal journey of uncovering the truth about her early life, including the moment she discovered legal records that confirmed what her body had always known. We explore the paradox of grief and relief, the creation of the “false self” as a survival strategy, and how compassion - for both self and parents - can exist alongside truth.
This conversation is not about blame or reliving pain. It’s about reclamation - learning to reparent the parts of ourselves that were unseen, unheard, and unmet, and discovering that healing doesn’t require perfect memories - only honesty, presence, and care.
In this episode, we explore:
- How preverbal trauma and emotional neglect shape adult identity
- Why emotional wounds can exist without conscious memory
- The body’s role in holding early trauma
- Dismantling the false self and reconnecting with the “unmothered” child
- Holding truth and compassion at the same time
- What healing looks like when it becomes a lifelong return to self
This episode is a gentle yet powerful invitation to look inward, honor your earliest experiences, and remember: it’s never too late to tend to the child within.
