Discover the missing piece in betrayal trauma healing that most people don't even know exists.
This episode of the Choose To Be podcast features host Choose Recovery Services in conversation with guest Akary Bust, an emotional biohacker specializing in betrayal trauma healing. The discussion centers on a therapeutic approach the host describes as a significant yet often overlooked component of healing. Akary shares her personal and professional journey from the corporate world to her current practice. Akary worked for a long time in the stressful, male-dominated banking industry. She explains that her corporate experience felt familiar but was ultimately unsustainable for her well-being. The host emphasizes that the method discussed is a "really big piece" many people do not know how to access. This approach has reportedly led to "beautiful healing" for the host and her clients that might not occur through other means. The guest coined the term "emotional biohacker" to describe her focus on getting to the root cause of emotional issues. Her transition from finance to healing work forms the backbone of her unique perspective. The host's excitement stems from seeing transformative results from this specific therapeutic intervention. A key premise is that traditional therapy models may not address certain foundational elements of trauma. The conversation suggests that deep, somatic, or subconscious work is necessary to move beyond talk therapy's limitations. Akary's story implies that high-stress, performance-driven environments can mirror or exacerbate underlying personal trauma. The method appears to involve accessing and reprogramming core emotional patterns or beliefs. The episode frames this work as a proactive "biohack" for the emotional body and nervous system. The tone is conversational, hopeful, and oriented toward sharing personal discovery and professional insight. The style blends a narrative interview with educational explanations of therapeutic concepts. Listeners interested in alternative, somatic, or depth psychology approaches to trauma recovery would find this episode valuable. Individuals strictly seeking conventional, clinical psychotherapy discussions might prefer to skip it.
