Healing Anxiety and Trauma: Gabby’s Journey with Mind Change
In this episode of The Mind Change Podcast, Heather McKean speaks with Gabby Rodriguez, who opens up about her powerful journey of healing through Mind Change. Gabby reveals how she first discovered Mind Change after struggling with debilitating health issues, including chronic stomach pain, anxiety, panic attacks, and insomnia. These physical symptoms were compounded by emotional struggles that began in childhood and resurfaced after the birth of her son, leading to postpartum depression.
Gabby shares how, before finding Mind Change, she coped with her pain and trauma by relying on faith and medication, which often left her feeling numb and disconnected from herself and her emotions. She describes how reading Heather’s book and taking the Mind Change course shifted her perspective, helping her see that her body wasn’t working against her but was instead signaling unresolved emotional trauma that needed attention.
Through Mind Change, Gabby began to peel back the layers of her trauma, much of which was tied to her upbringing and her relationship with her father. She discovered that by embracing her cultural identity and working through generational pain, she could release the fear, anxiety, and shame that had been holding her back. Gabby explains how she now feels proud of who she is, embracing her heritage, and using Mind Change to live a more authentic, empowered life.
Gabby also reflects on how her transformation has impacted her family, particularly her husband, who has been able to work through his own traumas as a result. As Gabby explains, healing herself has allowed her to extend love and forgiveness to those who hurt her, including her parents, and she now sees them with compassion. Her story demonstrates the ripple effect of healing and the profound changes that are possible when we address the deep-rooted emotional drivers of our pain.
