I’ve Been Through The Emotional Shutdown, The Family Traps, The Buried Pain. Now I Guide Others To Break Free—not With Fluffy Talk Therapy, But Raw, Real Inner Work.
I understand what it feels like to be trapped in your own inner darkness, carrying a pain that nothing in the outside world can fix. I chased distractions, accomplishments, validation, and approval—anything to numb the discomfort and ease my shame—but none of it worked. The relief I sought was always temporary.
True freedom doesn’t come from escaping your pain and shame—it comes from facing it, leaning into it, and understanding it. That’s the journey I now guide others through, because I’ve walked it myself. I know the path is hard, but the transformation on the other side is real, lasting, and deeply liberating.
This isn’t your typical talk therapy. This is a deep, transformative process: peeling back the layers that keep you trapped, confronting the shame that quietly shapes your decisions, facing the anger and grief you’ve been avoiding, and reclaiming the autonomy to stand fully in your own worth.
When you stop giving your power and value to others, everything shifts—your choices become clearer, your relationships healthier, and your life more authentic. Even alone, you thrive. From that grounded place, true freedom emerges.
“It’s Not You; It’s Your Trauma” is a brutally honest podcast hosted by Joe Ryan, an Inner Work Coach who has personally faced childhood trauma, family dysfunction, abuse, and emotional neglect. This isn’t theory or textbook advice—it’s drawn straight from real life.
The podcast exposes how early wounds silently shape our thoughts, behaviors, relationships, and sense of self—sometimes for decades.
No jargon. No sugar-coating. No pretending—just real, honest conversations about what actually happens inside us.
We tackle anger, grief, codependency, family dynamics, shame, emotional shutdown, and the challenging road of true recovery.
This is for people who are done with surface-level solutions and ready to face the truth of what really happened—and finally begin moving forward.
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why things keep repeating in your life? This is your chance to pause, slow down, and gain clarity.
In a focused 30-minute Zoom session, we gently explore the patterns that might be holding you back—whether it’s original pain and shadow work, anxiety, shame, or the ways family roles and past experiences still show up. We also look at relationship and career blocks, struggles with addiction or codependency, grief, heartbreak, and challenges in embracing your authentic self.
No pressure. No judgment. No quick fixes. Just a safe, honest space to understand what’s been running beneath the surface and what small shifts could start creating real change.
You’ll leave with new insight and practical steps you can try immediately—sometimes one fresh perspective is enough to start feeling lighter, more grounded, and more in control.
