8. A Conversation With My Ex-Fiancé’s Ex-Girlfriend Who’s Also a Therapist (Natasha’s Story)

In this special episode of The Traumedy Show, co-hosts Rachel and Megan Wilford are joined by Natasha, mentioned in episode one, who comes on the podcast for a deeply emotional and insightful conversation. Natasha and Rachel meet in person for the first time, sharing their intertwined pasts and the journey of healing that followed. 

Natasha (pseudonym) opens up about her tumultuous high school relationship with "The Wolf," the same man who Rachel was with for a decade. They delve into the patterns of emotional abuse, manipulation and the long-lasting impact of repeated infidelity and dishonesty that she also experienced with this same man.

Now a licensed therapist, Natasha provides a unique perspective, blending her personal experiences with professional insights. She shares advice on recognizing unhealthy relationship patterns, the importance of self-care and her journey toward healing and independence. Rachel and Natasha reflect on their shared experiences and the power of reconnecting and supporting one another through their trauma.

This episode is a testament to the resilience and strength of individuals who overcome their pasts and find solidarity in shared experiences, and sheds light on the often villainized perspective of "the other woman." Join us for a candid and heartfelt discussion that underscores the importance of healing, growth, and the enduring power of connection.
