In this raw and deeply human conversation, Dr. Nima Rahmany returns to the show to share his radical personal transformation - from a trauma-bonded relationship that ended in legal and emotional consequences, to becoming a cycle breaker, conscious parent, and educator on nervous system regulation and secure attachment.
Topics we explore:
Why information overload isn't healing - and what actually is
His dark turning point and what made him finally do the work
What “becoming trigger proof” really means (not trigger-less!)
Navigating guilt, shame, and self-forgiveness after major mistakes
How trauma bonds and codependency show up in most relationships
Why sugar, food, weed, and sex are emotional regulators — and how to stop using them that way
The link between unresolved trauma and sustainable weight loss
What it actually means to be a cycle breaker
