In this eye-opening episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine sits down with Brooke Bralove — licensed clinical social worker, AASECT-certified sex therapist, and master practitioner of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) — to reveal why it has nothing to do with your worth and everything to do with what your nervous system thinks is safe.

Wendy shares her own powerful firsthand ART session, and together they unpack how this gentle, rapid modality can neutralize trauma in as few as one to five sessions — keeping the knowledge but losing the pain. If awareness alone hasn’t been enough to change your patterns, this conversation will give you real hope that midlife is the perfect time to heal.
