Arci Grey is a living example of the powerful shift that happens when we reclaim our power from the traitor within. Her life was shaped by a long history of trauma—including childhood sexual abuse that shaped her adult relationships and ultimately surviving kidnapping, rape, and attempted murder. Arci is the founder of Survivor School™ and creator of Break Free from CPTSD, a program that helps others uncover the hidden roots of self-sabotage and break free from the subconscious trauma responses keeping them stuck. Using applied neuroscience and neurohypnosis, she guides people through the process of regulating their nervous systems, rewiring survival responses, and reclaiming control of their lives.

In this deeply personal episode of Your Traitor Within, Arci Grey shares her story—one that begins with unthinkable trauma: childhood abuse, kidnapping, rape, and an attempted murder that she wasn't supposed to survive.

But Arci did survive. And then came the harder part—living.

We talk about what it means to rebuild your life when your nervous system doesn’t know the difference between safety and sabotage. Arci opens up about the invisible aftermath of trauma and how Complex PTSD showed up as patterns that kept her from reaching her goals, sabotaging relationships, and believing she was worthy of anything more.

This isn’t just a story of survival—it’s a reckoning. A raw, real conversation about what it takes to untangle your identity from your trauma… and what healing looks like when you stop trying to be who the world wants you to be, and start reclaiming who you were always meant to become.

Arci also shares how she now helps other survivors reconnect with their internal resources, even when they feel broken beyond repair. If you’ve ever felt like your trauma has been running the show, this conversation is a must-listen.
