Episode 4.04: Metaphysical Healing from Trauma
Mytrae Meliana, psychotherapist, healer, and author of Brown Skin Girl
“[Forgiveness] cannot be a goal, and it shouldn’t be a goal. I think it’s an act of grace, because it comes from the heart, not the mind.”
Mytrae's story starts as a young adult in the U.S. in the 90's; an Indian graduate student in love with an American man. But her family's expectations catch up to her, and she quickly finds herself forced to give up her dreams, trapped in her family's home under house arrest and enduring abuse. Separated from the world she knew, she finds a way to carve a new path for herself.
Now a psychotherapist, author, and healer, Mytrae shares her story. She expounds on life with a narcissistic parent and how it can affect family dynamics. Outlining her journey through multiple abusive situations, she talks about finding strength to identify and leave those situations to find her own path. Perhaps most remarkable, she shares her journey healing trauma through the metaphysical. And at the end of it all, she shared how she was able to find forgiveness from the heart.
