In this episode of Salt & Sovereignty, Ashley explores betrayal trauma, childhood wounds, and how early experiences can shape self-hatred and self-worth.

Through a powerful Brainspotting therapy session, Ashley shares how the body stores trauma and how healing doesn’t always follow the path we expect. What begins as an exploration of betrayal in adult relationships reveals deeper layers rooted in childhood and inner child wounds.

In this episode:

• What betrayal trauma is and how it shows up
• How childhood experiences shape self-worth and self-hatred
• How the body stores trauma and emotional memory
• An inside look at Brainspotting therapy
• Why healing is not linear or predictable

This is a deeply personal reflection on how trauma lives in the body and what it means to meet yourself with compassion as those layers unfold.
