About This Podcast

What happens when what you learned about relationships doesn't help you create the kind of connection you long for—and you're left wondering: how do I do this differently? Ask Angela is a relationship advice column devoted to answering the questions that arise when you're navigating intimacy after trauma. Hosted by Angela Amias—therapist, writer, and founder of the Institute for Trauma-Informed Relationships—Ask Angela offers honest guidance with deep respect for where you've been. Each episode is based on a listener's letter—raw, true, and deeply human. Angela's advice weaves together the practical and the poetic, grounded in years of experience helping individuals and couples heal the patterns that keep them stuck. If you've ever felt like you're too much or not enough—or you just can't figure out why relationships feel so hard—this podcast is for you. Whether the question is about betrayal and trust, communication, emotional connection, or healing after heartbreak, Ask Angela is a space for learning how to untangle the past and build something new. Because love after trauma takes a different kind of wisdom—and you don't have to figure it out alone.
