We've all heard the saying: “Don’t worry, it’ll grow back stronger.” But when it comes to broken bones—and broken spirits—is that really true?

In this episode of Unbreakable Resilience, Giuseppe Chiaramonte, Ed.D. explores the healing process of bones as a powerful metaphor for recovering from PTSD. Drawing from his personal experience with healing from PTSD and scientific insight, he breaks down the three phases of bone repair—reactive, reparative, and remodeling—and reveals what they can teach us about trauma, strength, and the long, uneven road to leading an authentic life.

Whether you're in the early shock of survival or deep in the quiet work of rebuilding, this episode reminds you: healing isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about returning to yourself—with love, kindness, patience, and grace.

In this raw and deeply personal episode, Giuseppe Chiaramonte Ed.D. pulls back the curtain on the misunderstood world of PTSD and trauma related symptoms—unmasking the truth about what they are, why they show up, and how they can slowly start to fade as healing begins.
