We are so excited to welcome back the Gianu System for one of our most insightful (and joy-filled!) conversations yet. In this episode, we talk about what healing looks like across time, modalities, and parts — and what it meant for the Gianu System to experience a fusion.
Together, we explore the winding, non-linear nature of trauma recovery — and how systems like ours navigate therapeutic work that meets all of us where we are.
We explore the complexities of being a system in trauma therapy: trying different modalities, navigating misattunements, and learning to getting alters communicating. We talk candidly about what it’s like when therapy doesn’t work — and what happened when they finally found something that did.
You’ll hear about the modalities they explored, including:
🧠 CBT (and why it didn’t land)
💬 IFS (what helped and what felt misaligned)
⚡ EMDR (how it helped — and what was hard)
🌀 Deep Brain Reorienting — the approach that finally changed everything
We dive into:
Why screening tools like the DES and MID should be given more than once (because who’s fronting matters!)
How missing a DID diagnosis can derail trauma work
The power of self-compassion, communication, and humor in the healing process
What fusion really is (and what it’s not)
Whether you're a therapist, a supporter, or part of a system yourself, this episode offers nuance, hope, clarity, connection, and so many "oh wow" moments.
🔁 With all the lightbulb moments and deep valiation, this is one you’ll want to come back to again and again.
