    Survived childhood trauma? Ready to thrive, find love, and build a life you’re proud of? Join renowned trauma coach Michael Anthony’s free group. https://www.skool.com/think-unbroken-5756/about?ref=deff9f4cffd7469182949355dd1c1a1e On this episode of Think Unbroken, Michael sits down with healer and author Inna Segal for a grounded, no-nonsense conversation about real healing—physical, emotional, spiritual—and why it unfolds in stages, not shortcuts. They unpack what it actually means to feel “stuck,” how generational trauma shows up in the body, and why honesty and communication are often the first medicine. Inna maps the body’s left/right “feminine/masculine” signals, explains why symptoms are messages (not enemies), and shares the moment a single sentence snapped her out of despair: “Your body wants to be stuck.”  If you’ve tried everything, still feel off-track, and want a practical path back to congruence with who you are, this episode is for you. Key takeaways:“Stuck” is often a freeze response—repeating loops, blame, and no clear next step.The body is a map: left side (feminine—feelings/inner world), right side (masculine—action/vision).Symptoms point to unprocessed stories—especially unspoken communication and inherited patterns.Don’t chase a single “root cause”; build foundations and move layer by layer.Truth-telling and consistent action restore congruence—and reduce anxiety, panic, and self-betrayal. ************* LINKS & RESOURCES ************* Learn how to heal and overcome childhood trauma, narcissistic abuse, ptsd, cptsd, higher ACE scores, anxiety, depression, and mental health issues and illness.
