Beyond Trauma

About the Beyond Trauma podcast

Beyond Trauma is a trauma podcast for clinicians and curious humans alike. Hosted by Jen Savage, Melissa Sundwall, and Bridger Falkenstien of Beyond Healing, this trauma podcast explores what it actually means to heal — the nervous system, attachment, safety and connection, and the everyday courage it takes to grow beyond what has hurt us.

Rather than treating trauma as a diagnosis to manage, the show treats healing as a human story we're all living. Every episode streams free on this page, and you can follow along wherever you get your podcasts.

What this trauma podcast covers

Beyond Trauma sits at the intersection of clinical insight and lived experience. Recurring themes across the library include:

  • How trauma lives in the nervous system — and how regulation returns.
  • Attachment, relationships, and the need for safety and connection.
  • Post-traumatic growth and the ordinary courage of healing.
  • The Enneagram as a trauma-informed map of the self.
  • Practical, compassionate framing you can carry into daily life.

For a clinically grounded overview of trauma and evidence-based treatment, the American Psychological Association is a reliable starting point.

The Enneagram series

A signature stretch of this trauma podcast takes listeners deep into the Enneagram as a framework for self-understanding — walking through the Gut, Heart, and Head triads and each of the nine types in turn, always through a trauma-informed lens. It's a favorite entry point for new listeners.

Who Beyond Trauma is for

Beyond Trauma is written for therapists and helping professionals as much as for anyone doing their own healing work. Clinicians looking for professional resources can explore our tools for therapists and our trainings. If you want the more technique-focused clinical conversation, our EMDR podcast Notice That is a natural next listen.
