On today’s episode of The CLS Experience, Craig Siegel welcomes back Najwa Zebian, Lebanese-Canadian activist, author, speaker, and educator, for a powerful conversation about healing, revenge, closure, toxic bonds, and reclaiming your worth. Najwa opens up about her new book, The One Who Broke You Can’t Heal You, and why seeking revenge can keep you emotionally tied to the very people who hurt you. They unpack why closure is often a myth, how trauma bonds and over-performing for love keep us stuck, and why self-validation is the foundation for healthier relationships. Najwa also shares her own evolution from educator to training as a psychotherapist and what it means to stop dimming yourself just to be chosen. If you’re ready to break toxic cycles, stop chasing unavailable people, and choose yourself at a deeper level, this conversation is for you.
