Your Traitor Within: PART 2- Arci Grey on Survival, Self-Sabotage, and Breaking Free from CPTSD

What happens when the person you're trying to become is constantly hijacked by the version of you that learned to survive?

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.
