Welcome to Trauma Demystified by Bright Horizon Therapies, hosted by Natalie Jovanic, a Complex Trauma Coach and Trauma Counsellor with over 15 years of experience supporting adults healing from complex trauma, childhood trauma, and relational trauma.

If you function well on the outside but internally feel stuck in patterns of freeze, overthinking, people-pleasing, or relational confusion, this podcast is for you.

With lived experience and 15 years of clinical practice, Natalie explores what healing from complex trauma actually looks like — beyond symptom management and beyond surface-level advice. 

Drawing from the Integrative Trauma Recovery Model™, you'll learn why your nervous system reacts the way it does, how trauma fragments parts of the self, and what structured, integrative recovery can involve.

These conversations are honest, nuanced, and grounded in real therapeutic practice. Because healing isn't about avoiding triggers — it's about building capacity, restoring self-trust, and learning how to live differently.

If you're ready to move from insight to integration, you're in the right place.
