Listener discretion is advised.In this episode, Marsha sits down with Tarah Kerwin, LMFT, who is one of the founders (along with her husband, EJ Kerwin, LPC), of Relationship Renovation and creators of the Relationship Renovation Model™, as well as hosts of the Relationship Renovation Podcast.In this episode, we explore the powerful journey of healing childhood trauma and how it can transform our relationships, identity, and lives. Through ketamine-assisted therapy, our guest uncovered previously inaccessible memories of childhood sexual abuse, leading to a deeper healing journey using EMDR, deep brain reorienting, and internal family systems (parts work).Tarah shares her story of when a medically supervised ketamine therapy process led Tarah to uncover repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse. What began as professional curiosity became a life-altering journey of remembering, grieving, and rebuilding, both individually and in their marriage. That experience shaped the model they now use to help other couples break old patterns, rebuild trust, and create lasting, intentional connection.Chapters:[02:23] - Healing Childhood Trauma & Relationship Renovation[12:22] - Uncovering Buried Childhood Abuse[22:50] - Ignored Warnings: A Childhood Memory of Abuse and Dismissal[28:59] - Turning Recovery into Purpose: Helping Survivors of Sexual Abuse[37:14] - Their Work Together: Podcast, Counselling & the Relationship Renovation ModelConnect with Tarah:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/relationship_renovation/Website: https://relationshiprenovation.com/Email: [email protected]: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfb8I3evBi7aZcVnmvN_yPwFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/relationshiprenovationcounseling/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@relationshiprenovationPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/relationship-renovation-marriage-advice-intimacy-couples/id1452940459Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterOUTSPOKEN August Cohort: https://www.marshavanw.com/nlpUNBOTHERED Mastermind: https://www.marshavanw.com/offers/w8WVE3PaWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowOUTSPOKEN Publishing: https://www.outspokenpublishing.comTickets for Heart-Wired CEO Live https://www.heart-wiredceo.com/liveDownload FREE “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Tap the “Follow” button never to miss a show, and if you love the show, please feel free to tag me on social media, share it with a friend, or leave me a rating and review.
