In Part 1, we pulled back the curtain on the often-unseen reality of medical trauma; sharing the fear, frustration, and lasting emotional wounds that come from being gaslit, dismissed, or repeatedly hospitalized. In this follow-up episode, Sam & Levi return to dive deeper into what healing looks like when your trauma isn’t behind you, but woven into the fabric of your everyday life.
They open up about the slow, non-linear process of recovery: how PTSD from medical experiences can show up in subtle ways, how it impacts your relationship with your body and care providers, and why healing isn’t about “getting over it,” it’s about learning to live alongside it with more compassion and less shame. Sam & Levi share what’s helped them start to rebuild trust—both in themselves and the system that hurt them.
This episode is a continuation of the hard, honest conversations that too many patients are left to navigate alone. If you’ve ever felt broken by the system or unsure how to move forward, this one's for you. Healing may be messy, but it’s not out of reach.
