Discover how to use somatic exercises and hypnotherapy to regulate your nervous system and reclaim safety in your body after experiencing betrayal trauma.
Ghosting and betrayal don't just affect your thoughts; they trigger a physical stress response. This week, Host Gretta connects with Dr. Danielle Griffin to examine how emotional trauma impacts the body, causing elevated cortisol, jaw tension, tight shoulders, and headaches.
After burnout and grief prompted a career pivot into somatic therapy, Dr. Danielle now helps people address the physical strain that traditional talk therapy often leaves behind. This conversation clarifies what hypnotherapy actually looks like, defines somatic work through simple mechanics, and concludes with a brief, 90-second practice to help ground your nervous system when you feel overwhelmed.

When women end a friendship, the heartbreak can be devastating, yet we rarely talk about how hard it is to grieve somebody who is still alive. Susan Shapiro Barash joins Gretta to explore the complex world of female friendship estrangement based on her groundbreaking research interviewing 150 diverse women. Her new book, "Estranged: How Strained Female Friendships Are Mended or Ended," challenges the lifelong "best friends forever" narrative that has left countless women feeling down when their closest friendships crumble. From the faithless friend who betrays your trust to the green-eyed friend consumed by jealousy, Barash identifies different types of toxic friendships that lead women to the painful decision of ending relationships they once cherished. Whether you've been ghosted or betrayed by a friend, are healing from a friendship breakup, or seeking to build healthier connections, this episode offers compassionate guidance for navigating one of life's most under-discussed transitions.

Note to All Listeners: Ghosting is defined as: The practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication (Oxford Languages). When you leave an abusive situation without saying "goodbye," it's not ghosting, it's "self-protection." When you quietly exit a relationship after a boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."
