Heal Trauma & Rewire Your Nervous System with Brooke Bralove (Accelerated Resolution Therapy)
What if the reason you keep attracting emotionally unavailable partners has nothing to do with your worth — and everything to do with what your nervous system thinks is safe?
In this episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, psychotherapist Brooke Bralove — LCSW, AASECT-certified sex therapist, and master practitioner of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) — reveals why we repeat painful relationship patterns and how this gentle, rapid modality can neutralize trauma in as few as one to five sessions.
Brooke shares her own breakdown-to-breakthrough story (a devastating breakup that even talk therapy couldn’t budge), and Wendy opens up about her own firsthand ART session — and how an old trigger went completely neutral in a single session. 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, rewire, and finally create emotionally safe love.
