In the newest episode of the Recovery Centered Podcast, Tim Roberto sits down with Sarah Menniti, LMHC, founder of Rhythm Holistic Counseling & Wellness, to explore how trauma-informed care helps people understand behaviors through a nervous system lens.
Sarah shares how many patterns often labeled as “self-defeating” are actually protective adaptations that once helped us cope. The conversation highlights the difference between willpower and willingness in recovery, how subconscious beliefs shape behavior, and why trauma can remain active in the body even when we logically understand our experiences.
They also discuss how EMDR can help reprocess limiting beliefs like “I’m not safe” or “I’m not good enough,” creating space for new, healthier perspectives to take root. Most importantly, the episode emphasizes that real healing happens through safety, connection, and small, consistent steps over time.
It’s never too late to heal—and it’s possible to build a steadier, safer relationship with yourself.
