Chapters 6 & 7

In this Secure Love Club book club session, Julie Menanno leads a discussion of Chapters 6 and 7 of Pete Walker's Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving. The group explores relational healing and the powerful role of safe connection in recovery, including how supportive relationships can help repair what early trauma damaged. Julie ties these ideas directly to attachment theory: how being consistently met with empathy and attunement gradually rewires the nervous system toward security. You will come away understanding how relationships can be both part of the original wound and, done differently, a central part of the cure. Rich and encouraging for anyone healing complex trauma who wants to understand why safe connection is so essential to recovery, and how to let themselves receive it. The full discussion is inside for members.
