    #49: The Body Remembers What the Mind Forgets

    In this episode of The Trauma Queen 🎙️ Jessica Ella continues the series on the Four Pillars of Aaruka® Therapy and dives into somatic healing, the pillar most people resist but the one that changes everything. Most trauma survivors try to think, talk, or journal their way out of pain. But trauma is not just in your mind, it is stored in your body. That is why panic, dissociation, physical pain, and emotional outbursts keep happening until the body is included in the healing process. Inside this episode you will discover: 👉🏼 What implicit memory is and how your body “remembers” trauma even when your mind does not 👉🏼 Why triggers, chronic pain, and emotional rollercoasters are often the body’s way of screaming for release 👉🏼 How movement, sound, and breath free emotions that have been trapped for decades 👉🏼 The missing piece that keeps talk therapy and mindset work from truly working 👉🏼 Why pairing somatic healing with subconscious reprogramming, memory processing, and energetics makes Aaruka® Therapy so powerful This is for every survivor of complex trauma, sexual trauma, CPTSD, or emotional wounds who feels stuck in their body, unsafe in their own skin, or trapped in repeating triggers.

    #48: Talking About Trauma Isn’t Healing: Why You Must Process the Memories

    In this episode of The Trauma Queen 🎙️ Jessica Ella breaks down what most people miss about trauma healing: you cannot “mindset” your way out of unprocessed memories. She explains memory processing in plain English — how we safely retrieve a traumatic memory, pair it with somatic release, shift the subconscious beliefs it created, and recode the experience so your brain finally files it as past. You will learn: 👉🏼 What memory processing actually is and why talking about trauma is not the same as processing it 👉🏼 How pairing somatic healing with the correct brainwave state unlocks rapid change 👉🏼 Why flashbacks, body memories and triggers persist without visual recoding and inner child repair 👉🏼 The difference between suppressed and repressed memories and how to use triggers as a roadmap 👉🏼 Why affirmations and “good vibes only” do not stick until you process the root memory 👉🏼 How the Aaruka® Therapy method integrates the four pillars: memory processing, somatics, subconscious reprogramming and energetics This is a straight-talking guide for survivors of complex trauma, CPTSD, sexual trauma and anyone stuck in cycles of panic, dissociation or hypervigilance. If you want nervous system relief that lasts, start where the brain stores it: the memory. Listen now 🎧 on Spotify or Apple Podcasts and subscribe so you never miss an episode of The Trauma Queen

    #47: Healing Trauma at the Subconscious Level — Rewriting Identity, Beliefs and Your Reality

    Why do so many trauma survivors stay stuck, even after years of therapy? The answer lies in the subconscious mind. In this episode of The Trauma Queen podcast 🎙️ I uncover how trauma rewires your subconscious — shaping your identity, your relationships, your triggers and even the way you see yourself in the mirror. When childhood trauma, sexual trauma or emotional abuse builds your blueprint, love feels unsafe, self-worth disappears and survival becomes your default. Here’s what you’ll discover: 👉🏼 Why your subconscious mind is the hidden blueprint keeping you in cycles of fear, shame and triggers 👉🏼 How beliefs like “I’m not enough” or “love isn’t safe” secretly run your relationships, career and self-worth 👉🏼 The science behind the subconscious, the nervous system and the reticular activating system 👉🏼 How Aaruka® Therapy uses the 4 pillars of healing — subconscious reprogramming, somatics, memory processing and energetics — to finally break free from complex trauma 👉🏼 Real stories of how shifting core beliefs instantly changes confidence, love and identity This is not just another episode on trauma. It’s the missing link that explains why healing hasn’t worked for so many — and what it really takes to reprogram your subconscious and step into freedom.

    #46: Why Most People Don’t Fully Heal From Trauma and The 4 Pillars You Can’t Skip

    In this episode of The Trauma Queen podcast 🎙️ I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest truths in trauma healing: why so many people never fully heal from their trauma. For years, I saw women trying therapy, somatics, energy healing or mindset work only to feel stuck, disheartened and still triggered. The problem isn’t that they weren’t trying hard enough. The problem is that most of what’s out there focuses on only one piece of healing trauma instead of the full picture. Inside this episode you’ll learn: 👉🏼 Why most trauma survivors stay stuck in emotional wounds, flashbacks and triggers even after years of therapy 👉🏼 The misinformation in the trauma industry that keeps people from truly healing 👉🏼 Why talk therapy alone can’t access the subconscious where trauma is stored 👉🏼 The 4 essential pillars of healing: subconscious reprogramming, somatic release, memory processing and energetics, and why you need all of them to actually heal complex trauma and sexual trauma 👉🏼 How Aaruka® Therapy combines these pillars into one method so healing finally becomes possible If you’ve ever wondered why trauma healing hasn’t worked for you, or if you’ve felt hopeless after trying “everything,” this episode will show you the missing pieces and what it really takes to move from triggered to thriving.

    #45: “Why Not Me?” Surviving Sexual Trauma, Addiction and the Fight to Heal Deep Trauma

    In this powerful episode of The Trauma Queen podcast, I sit down with Karizma, a woman whose life story holds some of the most confronting truths about trauma, complex trauma, sexual trauma, emotional wounds and abuse, yet is anchored in a level of hope and light that will stop you in your tracks. We go deep into her childhood, marked by repeated sexual trauma, the murder of her father, a mother lost to heroin addiction and years of domestic violence and instability. Karizma shares how these experiences shaped her beliefs about safety, love and her own identity, and how they led to years of addiction, emotional wounds, and the constant trigger of living in fight or flight. But this is not a story about staying unhealed. Karizma speaks with raw honesty about the turning points that led her to rehab, deep inner child therapy 🪞 and ultimately reclaiming her power. We explore: 👉🏼 How childhood sexual trauma stole her sense of identity and the healing work it took to reclaim it 👉🏼 The role addiction played in survival and why she now feels pride rather than shame about her past 👉🏼 The pivotal moment she lost her daughter and the perspective shift that brought them back together 👉🏼 What it was like to heal through the Aaruka® Therapy process and why her first session changed everything 👉🏼 Learning to receive safe, consistent love after a lifetime of chaos 👉🏼 How she is now using her story to help others heal from trauma and thrive  This episode is as confronting as it is inspiring. If you have ever felt like the trauma you have been through is too much to come back from, Karizma’s journey will challenge that belief. She is living proof that no matter how far you have fallen, you can heal, reclaim your power and create a life filled with safety, love and purpose. Trigger warning: ⚠️ This conversation contains discussion of sexual trauma, child abuse, addiction, domestic violence and loss. Listen now 🎧 to hear how Karizma went from surviving the unimaginable to becoming a force for healing and hope 🌟

    #44: Why Love Feels Unsafe After Trauma – Healing Triggers, Trust and Love Wounds

    In this solo episode of The Trauma Queen podcast 🎙️ I unpack one of the most painful and confusing patterns for survivors of trauma: why love feels unsafe even though we crave it. Biologically we are wired for love, connection and community ❤️ but when your earliest experiences of love were marked by complex trauma, sexual trauma, abuse or emotional neglect, your nervous system learns that love is pain. When the people who were meant to protect you also betrayed you, love becomes wired to equal fear, abandonment and suffering. Inside this episode I share: 👉🏼 Why betrayal trauma teaches the subconscious mind that love is unsafe 👉🏼 How childhood emotional wounds create beliefs that love means abuse or self-sacrifice 👉🏼 Why safe love can feel boring or even triggering after years of toxic patterns 👉🏼 How trauma lives in the nervous system, keeping you in hypervigilance and mistrust 👉🏼 The cycle of attraction to emotionally unavailable partners and why it repeats 👉🏼 What healing looks like when you rewire your body and subconscious to finally hold safe love If you have ever pulled away from love, sabotaged intimacy or felt like connection equals danger, you are not broken. You are triggered. And when you process trauma and rewire these beliefs, love becomes safe again.

    #42: The Disorder I Didn’t Know I Had: Healing from Dissociative Identity Disorder

    I thought I was healing. But no matter how much work I did… I still felt like I was living someone else’s life. What I didn’t know at the time was that I had Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), a trauma response so deep, I had literally split into parts. In this raw and revealing episode, I’m sharing what it’s really like to live with DID: and how I healed it. 👉🏼 What DID actually is (and why most people misunderstand it) 👉🏼 The hidden connection between sexual trauma and identity fragmentation 👉🏼 Why “managing” DID isn’t enough and how full healing is possible 👉🏼 The real reason your parts were created, and how to resolve them (not suppress them) 👉🏼 How I blended my two dominant personalities (Happy Jess and Psycho Jess) and reclaimed my power. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with DID, feel like you’re living in survival mode, or just know that something deep inside you still isn’t whole… this episode will change how you see trauma, identity, and healing forever. You are not broken. You’re brave. And you’re not alone.
