Relational & Trauma-Focused Healing with the Founder of the Thriving Woman Institute | Ep 7
Today, I'm sitting down with Kahila Hedayatzadeh, founder of the Thriving Woman Institute, to explore the intersection of therapy and coaching for trauma-focused healing.
As a seasoned psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience, specializing in trauma healing and relational therapy, Kahila shares her unique approach to helping adults heal relational wounds, face their trauma, and build the skills to navigate life with resilience.
What You’ll Learn:
- The difference between "big trauma" and "little trauma" and how relational wounds from childhood, adolescence, or adulthood shape us.
- How therapy and coaching together can create sustainable healing without relying on therapy for a lifetime.
- Why societal and cultural norms lead women to internalize emotions and how generational patterns can be broken.
- The importance of men sharing their experiences of abuse and the ripple effect it creates in fostering vulnerability and healing.
Why This Episode Matters:
Whether you’ve experienced overt trauma or subtle relational wounds, this episode is a powerful reminder that healing is possible. Kahila’s approach, inspired by Gabor Maté’s work, emphasizes the importance of raising awareness, breaking generational patterns, and building the tools to move forward.
This conversation is a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how trauma affects us all and how we can take steps toward taking responsibility for our own healing.
