Rebuilding What Was Broken: The Long Road to Healing After Emotional Abuse | Zak Mucha

In this deeply compassionate and illuminating episode, we sit down with Zak Mucha—psychoanalyst, trauma specialist, and author of Emotional Abuse—to unpack the invisible wounds left by emotional abuse and the slow, courageous process of healing them. With clarity, honesty, and professional insight, Zak helps us understand the complex dynamics of emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and control—and why their impact often lingers long after the abuse ends.

We explore what it means to rebuild a sense of self after being systematically broken down, how survivors can learn to trust their own thoughts and feelings again, and the importance of safety, community, and patience in the healing journey. Zak offers not only clinical wisdom but also practical tools for anyone ready to begin reclaiming their inner world.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How emotional abuse rewires your sense of identity and worth

• The difference between real healing and just "moving on"

• Ways to restore boundaries, self-trust, and emotional clarity

• Why recovery is nonlinear—and why that’s okay

Whether you're in the aftermath of emotional abuse or supporting someone who is, this conversation with Zak Mucha is a lifeline. It’s a reminder that what was broken can be rebuilt—and that your healing is not only possible, but deeply deserved.
