Healing from Trauma isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about finding your way back to yourself.
In this week’s episode of Be Well with Dr. Michelle Greenwell, I sit down with award-winning author Faust Ruggiero, M.S. to explore the realities of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the hope that exists for healing.
Together we discuss:
✨ The five types of PTSD
✨ How trauma affects the body, mind, and Emotions
✨ Why healing begins with understanding, compassion, and connection
✨ Practical first steps toward rebuilding trust in yourself and others
We also explore trauma through the lens of the Five Element Theory, offering a BioEnergetic Wellness perspective that reminds us healing is about restoring balance, flow, and our connection to the heart.
Before our conversation, we pause with SoulTEA Harbour from the Cape Breton Tea Company—a nourishing herbal blend that encourages us to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember that healing begins in the present moment.
🍵 Today’s affirmation:
"Balance and Flow is possible when we open to be present for our true heart’s desires. Come home to your heart."
If you or someone you Love has experienced trauma, this conversation offers understanding, hope, and practical tools for moving forward.

Healing doesn’t erase the past.
It helps you rediscover the strength that has been within you all along.
