Dr. Nadine Macaluso: Psychologist, Author, Survivor
Dr. Nadine Macaluso has spent over 15 years studying, treating, and teaching trauma recovery, with a specific focus on trauma bonds, coercive control, and nervous-system healing.
She holds a PhD in Somatic Psychology, has worked with thousands of women worldwide, and is the author of Run Like Hell, a firsthand account of surviving and healing from a trauma bond.
Her work uniquely bridges clinical psychology, biology, and lived experience, because she didn’t just study trauma bonds… she lived through one.
Today, Dr. Nae teaches women how to break trauma bonds safely, regulate their nervous systems, rebuild self-trust, and create healthy, secure relationships.
That’s exactly what she’ll be sharing inside this masterclass.
Dr. Nadine Macaluso.
You feel confused, attached, or stuck in a relationship that doesn't feel safe, even if you can't fully explain why.
You've tried therapy, self-help, or "doing the work," but your body still feels anxious, dysregulated, or pulled back.
You want real clarity instead of minimizing, self-blame, or being told to "just move on."
You're not ready to rush big decisions, but you do want a safe, strategic plan.
You want healing approaches grounded in psychology and biology, not surface-level advice or toxic positivity.
You're ready to understand what's actually happening in your nervous system.
You want to rebuild self-trust, identity, and the ability to choose healthy love again.

You are not too early, you’re right on time. This masterclass is designed to help you gain clarity and prepare safely without rushing decisions or putting yourself at risk.
