About Dr. Nadine

At 22, Nadine's life took an unexpected turn when she married Jordan Belfort, the infamous stockbroker immortalized in the Hollywood hit, "The Wolf of Wall Street." What seemed like a modern-day fairytale became a nightmare. The turmoil of this traumatic relationship served as a catalyst for Nadine's remarkable journey. She received her master's degree in counseling and a Ph.D. in somatic psychotherapy. Dr. Nae is a pioneer in feminine empowerment and is the author of Run Like Hell: A Therapist's Guide to Recognizing, Escaping, and Healing from Trauma Bonds. Readers are granted insights into the psyche of the pathological lover, a nuanced understanding of the traits that render certain women susceptible to their advances, and practical strategies for breaking free from trauma bonds.
