Heal First Then Pick Your Life Partner: Help With Healing CPTSDAuthor: Dr. Tanner Wallace CPTSD Resolution & IFS Training CPTSD Medicine
THEY DID NOT TEXT BACK. You said you would stay calm, but your body is lighting up like an alarm. You can heal what drives this. You can look perfect on paper and still be breaking underneath your unresolved CPTSD. Heal First Then Pick Your Life Partner helps you understand and finally heal the root causes of your CPTSD-driven relationship anxiety so you can experience secure, stable, lasting love. Here, we answer the questions that keep you up at night: What are the signs of emotional trauma in adults? What are the types of trauma responses? How do people heal from trauma? How do you overcome anxious attachment? Each episode helps you connect the dots between the symptoms you live with and the trauma that created them, and teaches you how to begin resolving CPTSD at the root. Grounded in the science of attachment and the practice of Internal Family Systems, this show bridges CPTSD healing, trauma recovery, and relationship growth. Every conversation offers insights, examples, and practical tools you can apply right away to stop repeating painful patterns in love. If your big and small life decisions are driven by the fear of getting in trouble or being abandoned, rather than by a grounded sense of your own worth, reciprocity, and respect, you will learn how to heal what drives that fear and clean up the relationships that keep that fear alive. If you have spent years in therapy, achieved success in your career, yet still collapse in love, this podcast is your training ground for lasting change. Hosted by Dr. Tanner Wallace, a former tenured professor of Applied Developmental Psychology and current Internal Family Systems Level 3 practitioner, you will be guided through research-based, spiritually integrated lessons designed to help you resolve CPTSD at the root, not just manage symptoms. When you heal first, everything else in lifelove, partnership, parenting, and purposeflows from truth, wholeness, and sovereignty.

048. Keeping Up With Life: A CPTSD Guide to Building Self Trust
Friday, 1 May, 2026
You can run a life that looks competent from the outside while the private functional domain — taxes, invoicing, paperwork, the relationship with yourself — quietly falls apart behind closed doors. That split is not a discipline problem. It is an audience problem. In this episode, I introduce a single discerning question I want you carrying with you — Is there an audience for this task? — and walk through what it reveals about the Part of you that has learned to perform competence outwardly while leaving the unwitnessed loops open. We work through the backstage of the Broadway show your life has become, why mainstream priority advice has it backwards, and the difference between priorities and the systems that hold them. If you have ever said I can keep up with everyone else's expectations but I cannot keep up with my own life, this episode was made for you. Step Closer If this episode resonated, join my email list.
